Canopus Vintage Snare Wire for 14″ 12-Strand Dry

Canopus Vintage Dry Snare Wires

The number of wires shapes the sound! The number of snare wires is a fundamental factor in defining a snare’s resonance and character – allowing a single drum to display completely different sound characteristics. Generally, more wires bring sensitivity and a bright tone, while fewer wires deliver a drier, more direct tone with stronger shell presence.

The strength of the CPSL-14DR12 lies in the wonderfully controlled sound it provides and the way it emphasizes shell resonance. Simply swapping wires will open the door to new playing approaches and sonic possibilities.

Even on vintage drums with deep snare beds from the 1940s, or the nearly flat beds of the 1960s, these wires reduce unwanted snare buzz and give maximum functionality.

Fewer wires does not mean less responsive; it represents a musical choice a new way to unlock your snare drum’s true voice. .5mm thick brass end plate
