I was wondering if someone can confirm a few things for me about the Slingerland Clamshell strainers. I'm making one for my 50's RK snare. I find them very difficult to find as parts. So until I can I thought I'd craft one from scratch. The tension side is complete and works great. My main question is to the throw side handle on/off. I see the original throw side body has a indentation where the handle fits into. Is this the off position where the snare wires are away from the reso head? And then when the handle is turned to move out of the indentation this is then the on position where the snare wires are engaged against the reso head? I'm pretty sure this is how it works but if someone can confirm this it would be a great help. I've never had one or had the chance to see one in person. So I'm not 100% positive how they work. I have pretty much everything I need to fab one from scratch. Just some misc hardware to finetune the assembly. I'm sure some trial and error too. Once I have a clear picture how the handle assy works I can continue on the wood body I made. Any thoughts/info would be much appreciated~!
