Musically rich and visually irresistible, the handcrafted Craviotto 5.5" x 14" walnut snare speaks with a lush, throaty voice and springs to life with the slightest touch. This snare begins life as a single piece of a select walnut, a tonewood as regarded for it luxurious figuring as its mellow-dark tones, steam bent into place by Johnny Craviotto's crack team of shell artisans. The one-piece design gives this snare unbeatable strength, roundness, intonation, and resonance. The 45° bearing edges maximize head response, and 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops endow this snare with a classically fat, open attack.
Even the best plywood shell can lose resonance due to added glue weight and poor contact between plies. That's why this Craviotto snare is built from a single piece of hand-selected premium walnut wood, steam bent into place, for a look and sound that will call you back throughout your career. If you're in the market for a handcrafted walnut snare, don't pass up this one-of-a-kind Craviotto — order yours from Sweetwater today.
45° bearing edges on this Craviotto snare offer pinpoint head contact, allowing both the batter and snare-side heads to resonate to their full potential.
