Ya, what a bargain, hey honey, can I spend a 6 grand on a snare? Do you really think Jr. will go to college?

Not to pile on, but I was surprised at the price tag too... especially so as Adrian Kirchler is still crafting fine instruments!

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Didn't want to create a scene with the price. I have seen the #/50 silver NOB sell for 5000-6000, so the price to me is very fair in regards to what I have seen sell on the market, and the rarity of this drum.

I understand it is very expensive though. It was when I bought it too.

If anyone has any questions let me know

I'm just wondering what makes this snare to be worth 6 grand or any snare for that matter, unless it was once owned by a famous drummer. I'm sure it didn't cost anywhere near that much to make it. I'm just baffled as to why someone would spend that much money on a drum.

I suppose the answer is rarity. This is most likely the only time someone would get the chance to own a #/5 snare drum, that could continue to gain value as they will never be made again.

The market sets the price. As I mentioned, the silver diamond snare went for 5000-6000 US, and those are significantly less rare.
