Craviotto Heirloom Purpleheart Snare Drum 14x5 w/Black Tahitian Abalone Inlay

Craviotto Heirloom Solid-Shell Purpleheart Snare Drum: A Steward of Legacy

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 Construction & Boutique Artistry

This particular custom build elevates Craviotto's legendary solid-shell design with striking premium appointments:

• Solid-Ply Purpleheart Shell: Crafted from a single piece of premium steam-bent purpleheart, this shell delivers incredible sensitivity, a wide dynamic range, and bright, articulate projection. The classic 5 depth provides a balanced blend of tone and crisp snare response.
• Stunning Custom Aesthetics: A translucent gloss lacquer finish beautifully highlights the natural, deep, rich hue of the purpleheart wood grain. A premium, hand-seated Black Tahitian Abalone Inlay bisects the shell, adding a jewelry-grade boutique touch.
• 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 shell will continue to mature, growing richer and deepening in tone with every performance, recording session, and rehearsal.

Premium Hardware & Complete Protection

Outfitted with top-tier components to support its massive tuning versatility and road-ready longevity:

• Chrome Over Brass (COB) Hoops: These high-end hoops offer the perfect balance of rigidity and musicality. They provide a fat, clear rimshot and reliable tuning stability while allowing the solid shell to resonate completely unchoked.
• Uncompromising Craftsmanship: Every hardware component is hand-aligned to ensure flawless mechanical action, ultra-sensitive snare response, and consistent performance across all tension ranges.
• Collector's Essentials Included: To preserve the value and pristine finish of this investment, the snare comes complete with a Deluxe Padded Craviotto Bag and an official Certificate of Authenticity.

Technical Specifications

An heirloom is something entrusted—something meant to outlast its first owner. When this drum eventually changes hands, it will carry your story, the music you made, and the stages it stood on with it.
