Canopus Vintage snare wires (CPSL-14DR) are simply the best snare wires in the world. They make my snare sound so much better. They choke less, have a beautiful tone and the wires produce a very nice, sweet and delicate snare sound! Thank you Canopus!!!

Big love to Curt Bisquera @curtbisq for talking about Canopus snare wires (CPSL-14NP). Your support means a lot!

Adding the Canopus CPSL-14DR16 Vintage Snare Wire to my 6.5”x14” “The Bronze” Hand Hammered Bronze snare drum has completely transformed the instrument. The drum now speaks with brightness, life, joy, and even a sense of peace, making every stroke feel more connected to the music.
Technically, the change is just as remarkable - the response is crisp and immediate, ghost notes articulate with clarity, and backbeats carry a powerful presence. The wires enhance the natural depth of “The Bronze,” unlocking a perfect balance of sensitivity, resonance, and projection.
As a Canopus Drums artist, I’m filled with gratitude. These snare wires haven’t just enhanced my drum—they’ve brought it to life in a way that inspires me every time I play. Thank you, Canopus, for continuing to create gear that elevates both the instrument and the music.

I will not change the drum heads unless they are punctured or pitted because once a head is seated on a drum for a certain period, it creates a kind of bond with the drum.
I change the snare wire because the new wire brings new life to the drum.
I like the plain brass one, CPSL-14DR.

Still serving the music well. The past week in studio I`ve chosen to use some old & some new. A balance of great quality instruments inline with a vision on sound always makes a positive creative experience.
