Custom Midmill Stave Snare

Boris Ritscher of Midmill drums built this 14 mm raw staveshell out of walnut plank. The 14"x5,5" shell diameter is undersized, has sharp 45° bearing edges and Canopus vintage dry wires, which results in an extremely sensitive snare drum. The Dunnett George Way throw off, the claw hoop and the tube lugs provides a nice classic look.
