Hello Everyone!

Just joined this forum, so I'd like to say hello to everyone! :)

I have a rather lovely Premier Royal Ace snare drum that I really enjoy using. (It's one of the nicest sounding snare drums I've ever played.) However, the strainer is in dire need of attention as there is too much play between the two parallel action bars and despite all my attempts to try and rectify this, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to find a replacement strainer. If there's anyone out there who has any experience in repairing these strainers, any idea where I can get hold of such a rare item or knows of a place that maybe specialises in manufacturing replacement parts for vintage drums, I'd be ever so grateful!

Thankyou for taking the time to read this post and for any info that anyone can provide, no matter how obscure or tenuous it may be!
