This is an early production run Sonor, Delight snare drum. The shell is approximately 6.5mm maple, close to the designer's specifications. It has Sonor's pressed hoops, which give it a focused yet open sound. The shell has no major scratches and is relatively clean. Replacing the heads and snare wires will drastically change its character. Currently, it has standard Ambassador heads and 20-strand Pearl snare wires. Because the shell resonates so well, you could use it as is at your preferred tuning. *If you have a specific sound in mind, replacing everything is, of course, also an option. This snare drum is recommended for those who want a slightly heavier snare than the Prolite. As a semi-professional model at the time, it's a very good instrument. Thank you.
