Vintage Snare Wire
Needless to say, you would agree that a snare drum is the most important component in drum sounds, and the determinant factor of the snare drum is snare-wire.
However, this fact has not been fairly recognized until very recently except a few drummers.
In 1960, Ludwig and Slingerland manufactured what has now become the standard for good vintage wire.
Several manufacturers have tried to re-produce the sound .
After years of research, we have replicated the Slingerland wire taking into several factors into account such as material, spiral diameter and pitch.
We finally decided a core thickness of 0.5 mm and a spiral diameter of 1.35mm and a pitch of 3.4 mm.

|
|
|
In that process, we also found that end plate is another determinant of snare-wire's sensitiveness and we have tried various end plates with different thickness'.
We concluded that the thickness of 0.8mm is enough and optimal to hold the wires.
We also decided to exclude the guiding grooves for snare strings and tapes while most of makers use such groove on end plates for more contact of with snare side head to get more sensitivity.
Actually, these guiding grooves turned out to impair the sensitivity of the snare drum like tape muffling as a whole. But our end plate is so thin, it might cause breakage of strings and tapes.
Therefore, we resolve such problem by having the lapel at the holes on the end plate.
With years of our careful analysis of the material composition, thickness of the end plate, shaping experiments and consideration for production, we have completed the CANOPUS Vintage Snare-wire.
Young jazz super drummer Bill Stewart once visited us.
He was so impressed by our proto-type Vintage Snare-wire and asked us if he could use it.
Many CANOPUS endorsers appreciate the sound quality of this snare wire.

| You have 2 choices to put Vintage Snare Wire. |
|
|
|
|
Nylon Snare Wire Belt (CNB) |
|
Nylon Snare wire belt for more durability. |
|
As Canopus New Snare Wire Belt is knitted nylon fiber which is a distinguished durability in synthetic fiber, you will never have any accident during performances. The sound will not be choked like snare wire belt made of film when you hit your snare drum in powerfully. You will realize natural reaction and a rebound as if it was snare wire strings. You do not need to use a string any more for a good sound and response of snare wire with any sacrifice of the durability. |
|
|
|
|
| Snare Wire Cord (CNC) |
| Snare wire cord for more sensitivity. |
| This is the ideal strings for natural bound and stabilized snappy. The only problem is its durability. Canopus has conducted research for core fiber material, volume and weaving for the best and developed very durable one (compare to our existing ones) without sacrificing intrinsic natural bound. You will see the improved fitting with snappy and wider adjustment range from loose to tight positions. This is the best when the delicacy is called for, typically in recording situations. |
