This is a pic of the strainer on a ten lug Hoshino K snare that I recently bought. The strainer is very similar how ever the throw doesn't taper to a point, it is simply square. I think the shell is quite similar if not the same? This snare has some get up and go, I like playing it emperor batter head and all, considering I am wooden snare guy.
Thanks mate. I think functionally they will be the same and i think I now understand how it should work and why it's not working now. Thanks
