Overview

The Canopus 20-Strand Vintage Snare Wire is meticulously crafted for Slingerland Radio King 14" snare drums equipped with the "Clamshell" strainer. Designed to emulate the original specifications of 1960s snare wires, it features a thin 0.5 mm end plate that delivers a brisk, deep sound, ideal for delicate performances in acoustic ensemble settings.
