The Dixon 16-Strand Snare Wire is a quality chrome-plated coiled steel snare wire set for 14" snare drums — a reliable, durable replacement or spare parts option compatible with the majority of 14" snare drums. Sixteen strands of chrome-plated coiled steel deliver an authentic, full snare drum sound with the durability to last through regular playing before replacement is needed. A practical and affordable addition to any hardware or accessory bag for drummers who want a reliable spare set on hand at all times.
Snare wires are a consumable component of any snare drum setup — they wear over time through regular playing, and a worn, broken, or poorly tensioned set of snare wires directly affects the snare drum's response, sensitivity, and tonal character. Keeping a spare set in the stick bag or hardware case is standard practice for gigging drummers who can't afford to have a broken snare wire derail a performance. The Dixon 16-Strand Snare Wire provides a reliable, correctly specified spare that fits the majority of 14" snare drums without requiring specialized sizing or modification.
Six teen strands is the standard count for full-coverage, responsive snare wire sets — more strands than a 10-strand set means more contact area between the wires and the resonant head, producing a fuller, more present snare response across the dynamic range. Chrome-plated coiled steel construction provides the durability and tonal character associated with quality snare wire — the chrome plating resists corrosion and maintains the wire's surface quality through extended use, while the coiled steel construction provides the flexibility and tension response needed for accurate, sensitive snare activation. Compatible with the majority of 14" snare drums across all major brands and hoop styles.
