It seems like this must have been addressed here before, but if it has I can't find it:
Does anyone make replacement string for vintage Ludwig snares? I'm referring to the string that is used to tie the ends of the snare wire assembly to the throw-off and the butt end. I know there are lots of things that will work, but I'm looking for the exact repro of the original string, which looks like a tightly woven, fine strand outer shell over a twisted core*.
