Just want to share my snare project, a Ludwig Brass Edition Supraphonic, 14x5. Got the snare from ebay more than a year ago, and its bit old and rusty. So i decided to upgrade it. It only now that I managed to somehow complete it and make is usable.
Changes were Gibraltar tension rods, Tama plastic washers, Tama locking cup washers (with rubber inside), Puresound Custom 24 snare wires, Gibraltar Dunnett throw off, Gibraltar generic butt, Die cast hoops. Both the throw off and butt does not fit the hole, hence I had to modify them a bit without drilling holes.
Modifications:
Throw off, used the bracket of P85 strainer, removed all its part including level, then attached it to the Dunnet Strainer. The mas hole spacing for the dunnet cannot mathe the big hole spacing of the supra.
Butt, I had to bend it a bit and use a rubber/plastic washer to fit to the closer holes of supra.
