Maple Stave Snare 14" X 6.5" Black finish
When constructing a snare drum shell there are many things to consider. Perhaps the most important of which is the shell construction method. Most wood snare drums are made from ply wood. This is where very thin sheets of wood are glued together to make one thicker sheet, which is then cut and formed into shape. While ply is a very effective material for making snare drum shells, it’s strong and versatile, it does not have the freer, more musical, resonance of stave. It is the stave shell’s construction that is the key to its greater resonance and its more musical tone. A ‘stave’ is a block of wood, like a xylophone bar. These blocks are glued together at their edges to form the shell. With stave shells the grain runs vertically, from top to bottom, which allows the shell to resonate more freely. Also, stave constructed shells use less glue allowing the resonant waves to vibrate more intensely. Original Stave snares are built by hand at the Marshall factory. Each one is allocated a serial number before being quality inspected. Original Staves are fitted with hand polished double ‘Sun’ lugs, Tru-Tune tension rods and Tri-Throw snare mechanism. They also feature 2.3mm triple flange chrome hoops and a die-cast Natal logo badge. Original Staves are available in a three woods: Ash, Maple and Bubinga. There are four high gloss lacquer finishes available: Red Stain, Amber Stain, Black Gloss and Natural Wood. Natal Original wood snare have an even, 450 bearing edge which is hand finished with bees wax; this reduces friction between the head and the bearing edge resulting in brighter overtones and more effective sustain. A waxed bearing edge makes tuning easier and more accurate. All Original wood snares are fitted with the same hand polished ‘Sun’ lugs, Tru-Tune tension rods, unique Tri-Throw snare mechanism, 2.3mm triple flange hoops, and the die-cast ‘Sun’ logo badge as all Natal Originals.
