NO problem! I had to put some grey speckled sealer (like Rogers) on the inside because i get that Drum in a horrorable state. The inside was painted wit h a bue laquer that woul not really come off. All the wood stayed blue and i did not want to sand it down to much!

I also ahd to change the strainer, because it was lost:-)

Sorry forgot the pic...one minute:-)

Here is pic

Gilnar have one much older Amati snare with re rings

This one is first from younger ones with re rings that we can see

Here are the pics:-)

OK, i still play that drum! Sounds good:-) and looks good! Amati in my opinion is an underrated company!

This is great.I hope George and Gilnar will see this soon

I owned an 80's Amati 6 1/2" x 14" chromed steel snare. Quality of construction was excellent. It seemed to lack well defined snare beds, but undoubtedly would have been a fine player with the benefit of an Active Snare Unit or fitted with a DynaSonic Snare Bridge assembly. Very rare here in the States but if I ever find a kit in great condition I'm going to buy it. High praise for Amati! Wish the factory would jump start its now defunct percussion division!

Well noticed Buckie

I think in the factory did not know actualy function of snare bed,and wasn't made at all,or wasn't made properly.So many of us,cut them by ourselves

So your experience about Active Snare Unit or fitted with a DynaSonic Snare Bridge assembly is great , but, I am affraid cost much more then

snare drum itself!

Nice snare!

Yes, here is it... :)

But now this snare have changed the country and placed in Estonia and todays owner has replaced broken lugs to next generation with inserts.

Hi George

Hope you are good

I did not know that Gilnar sold it

But this one from Christian is much younger but with re rings.What you think?

This is first time i see this age with re rings

Hi bro,

It's hard to precisely define these time borders for rings.

On monday I'd received a cargo box with some old Amati shells wrapped in my favorite "M-Kristall Schwarz-Silber" --- they about 1964 and snare already has multylayer shell without re-rings.

Cheers,

George.
