Hi Folks! My first post here.

I just purchased what I was told is an '80s Ludwig 6.5 x 14 Hammered Bronze snare. She sounds wonderful and I'm enjoying it very much.

However, the P-85 strainer and butt (don't remember the part #) are both screw adjusted and that's the only aspect of Ludwig snares I have not liked.

Therefore, I'd like to replace the the strainer and the butt with a P-86 and P-33 respectively. This would really improve the practicality of the drum since both have drum key adjusted screws.

I've been told the P-86 is a fit with the holes on the drum but wondering about the P-33.

Can someone let me know if I can use both parts?

If not maybe another solution that uses drum key adjustable screws.

Thanks in advance.

Jim
