Sound Pure's Take
Craviotto snares have long been regarded for their tone and aesthetics. This 6.5x14 Mahogany snare with inlay is no exception. Light to the touch, it delivers big solid tone in a small package. The 45-degree bearing edges create articulate and defined sounds in multiple tuning ranges while the shell adds warmth you won't get from its maple or birch cousins. Mahogany snare drums have a distinctively dark, earthy tonal quality derived from the more porous, less dense wood that naturally filters the snare's high frequencies. The maple reinforcing rings are used as a way to help counterbalance the Mahogany's prominent lower overtones by stabilizing the shell, raising the pitch and increasing its projection without sacrificing its unique tonal tendencies. Once you hit one of these incredible drums, you'll see why it's no wonder so many players go to Craviotto to find their sound.
