I would say that is a HUGE SUCCESS! I really does have alot of class, and I bet it sound great as well!
What is the snare shell? Thick or thin w/ rings?
Interesting that the FT is a thin shell with rings while everything else is the thicker shell without the rings. Then, you used a pinstripe on the FT and regular 1-ply on everything else. Was this on purpose? Do they all sound like a good match?
Yeah - we want to know where you got the wrap - as it sure is sharp!
BTW - yeah, I have also been very fortunate that I have several MIJ stencil strainers that are working just fine. I recall in my youth when I ran into those, practically none of them worked and had broken levers. Perhaps there is more TLC in general going around for those with a more knowledgeable appreciation. I would have gone with a P-83 instead of the P-85, but if budget was a concern, I understand why you used the P-85.
