Fantastic! Oyster Pink is just a beautiful wrap. Like Oyster Black and Blue, looks great when you can see a touch of mahogany through the translucent areas. Thanks for sharing this beautiful drum!

Absolutely agree. Last year(s) of clamshell strainer makes this historically significant as well. Technically not a Radio King but is the top of the line snare offering that year.
