Condition Description: VG - very good condition snare drum 100% original Chrome hardware components, with upgraded remo heads. Black wrap is original and clean with no cracks or damages. Chrome plated hardware is all original and mostly clean with no rust and some minor pitting. Throw-off has a chrome metal bracket that sits on the outside of the shell and screws into the internal mechanism. This piece is loose, the part the screws goes into has snapped off (see pic 4). This is purely cosmetic and included as pictured but could be taken off and saved so as not to get lost, or glued/repaired to secure in place. Birch shell is very clean with smooth bearing edges, tight re-rings, and no cracks or damages. Snare wires included in great condition. Strainer ends may need new springs to tension properly.
