Craviotto Heirloom Flamed Maple Snare Drum 14x5.5 Brown Burst w/Gold Hardware

Craviotto Heirloom Solid Shell Flamed Maple Snare Drum: A Masterpiece of Permanence

To own a Craviotto Heirloom Snare Drum is to become the steward of a master-crafted legacy. Each instrument is meticulously shaped and formed from a single, solid ply of premium hardwood through a proprietary steam-bending process that honors generations of drum-making tradition. These drums represent the purest sonic expression of the wood species from which they are built. Crafted with an intentional focus on artistry over automation, and permanence over disposability, a Craviotto Heirloom snare is built to be played, cherished, matured, and passed down through generations of musicians.

Solid Shell Flamed Maple & Exquisite Gold Appointments

This exquisite custom build marries Craviotto's legendary Solid Shell resonance with the highest tier of luxury hardware components:

• Solid-Ply Flamed Maple Shell: Crafted from a single piece of premium steam-bent maple, this shell delivers incredible sensitivity, brilliant articulation, and a wide dynamic range. The traditional 5.5 depth provides a lightning-fast, crisp response that speaks clearly at every dynamic level, from a ghost-note whisper to an authoritative rimshot.
• Natural to Dark Brown Burst Fade: A stunning, translucent burst lacquer finish showcases the deep, shifting, three-dimensional figures of the premium flamed maple wood grain, fading from an organic natural center to rich, dark brown edges.
• A Maturing Masterpiece: The premium tone-woods used in this drum have already matured for decades before ever being shaped into an instrument. In your care, the solid maple shell will continue to mature, growing richer and deepening in tone with every performance, recording session, and rehearsal.

Boutique Hardware & Elite Performance

Outfitted with choice gold-plated components that elevate both the drum's visual presence and its mechanical precision:

• Solid Brass Hoops: Gold-plated solid brass hoops offer a premium weight and density, delivering an incredibly musical, full-bodied rimshot and precise tuning stability while letting the single-ply shell breathe naturally.
• Trick Snare Throw-Off: Equipped with a gold-plated Trick three-position step-filter throw-off, providing effortless, smooth mechanical action and exacting control over your snare wire tension.
• Gold-Plated Tube Lugs: Classic, minimal-contact tube lugs ensure minimal hardware mass on the shell, maximizing the wood's natural vibration and sustain.
• Collector's Essentials Included: To preserve the pristine condition of this investment, the snare comes complete with a custom Padded Craviotto Bag and an official, hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity.
