This 1-ply Steam Bent snare was made from a single piece of solid walnut.  With custom fully rounded edges and the 8″ depth, it’s got an old-school fat sound that’s still incredibly crisp at the lower volumes.  I’m a big fan of the steam-bent shells, as they tend to be very sensitive and make great full-bodied snares.    This particular one featured a semi-gloss oil based finish, solid brass tube lugs, the Dunnett R4 MicRo strainer and Puresound wires.  Check it out:
