A hand-hammered World Series snare with a very nice end result. Used for jazz and it was very good for that. Was also used in the studio for punk rock (also a very surprising result). New tensioning blocks and screws are included, the rest is original (original tensioning blocks and screws are included separately packaged). These snares were made between 1985 and 1992. There is a Remo Emperor snare side on the bottom at the moment and a coated ambassador as a resonator, the last one could be replaced. For the sound (and comparisons with other snares), you can search YouTube. This snare sounds a bit lower and a lot more harmonious because of the hammering. Shipping is possible.
