Hi, i'm new on the forum, living in France, i bought a Ludwig marching band snare from 1970, it's a 14x10 deep with a classic trow off. I need to change the wire snare. Normaly a marching band strainer is fixing on it, but i'd like to put a normal strainer, a 15" will be great, with a string on one side, and a little hole on the other side . Does anyone have already try fit a normal one on a marching band snare ? Do you have any adress where i can find it ?
thanks a lot !!!
maybe this will help:

Bonjour! (And that's about all the French I know.) ;)
If your drum has a "Classic" P87 strainer, we need to know what's on the other side of the drum. The Classic P87 could've been paired with a P32 butt or a P34 butt. (And there were two versions of the P34 butt as I found out in the link Shawn mentioned.) With either the P32 or P34, there are a few different options.
Allo Salavas! Bienvenue au Forum, c'est chouette d'avoir quelqu'un d'autre qui parle le français ici. Tu va adorer ça.
Translation: Hello Salvalas! Welcom to the Fourum, It's great to have some one else who speaks french around here. You'll love this place.
Skydogs pics show the LATER style P34 butt plate.
The early one like mine is a 2 bolt mount and the snare aperture is mirrored.
