Post subject:  TO2 REPLACEMENT WIRES
While I am fairly buzzed about my Lite snare, I am concerned about finding replacement wires for the Throw-off ll, being as they are longer than standard. I recall some discussion, in another universe, about some Puresound made for Pearl floating snares, but having checked the measurements on the PS website, and while they probably fit, they are only comprised of 16 wires. Does anybody have any other recommendation?

Thanks.

I know Brian is a SONORLITE expert!

So, if anyone knows how to get replacements, he's the one...

Trying to find replacement wires, asking around those who know, led exactly nowhere. I don't want Puresound because they're too brittle sounding, and the other option was some sort of Pearl variety.

Cliff suggested I contact Gerd, and I sloughed the idea off, since I hadn't seen anything like that on his site. But with nothing else to do, a couple of weeks ago I sent an email to him, and got the reply back that indeed he had them. And they were indeed Sonor manufacture. I ordered two. He wrote back that he only had one in stock and needed to order one. That would take about two weeks, and then he'd send them. Okay, put that out of mind for a while and maybe it'll happen.

On Monday, exactly two weeks later, the shipment arrived at my door. Both snares included. Part number SW 1424 XS. :D :D :D

Honer needs a fire lit under their office chairs. The price of the two wire sets pruchased from ST Drums (app. $40 per set with $18 shipping) was cheaper than it would be to buy two in this country without shipping. A search through Hohner's part numbers reveals that they can indeed be purchased, but I'm willing to bet that nobody knows they exist, and waiting for Honer to get them would be like waiting for Godot.

Any discussion of Sonor's economic outlook should include the dissolution of their relationship with Hohner. It may well be that both companies share a similar dysfunctional character that is the basis of their relationship, in which case the outlook is that they'll continue to bumble along as they have until everyone gets tired. :( :( :(

Hi Gregory,
Your dilligence paid off! Not a huge Pure Sound fan myself, I have a need for a set of those as well. Will I be as fortunate as you if I just ask Gerd for the Part number SW 1424 XS ?
Thanks in Advance,
:ugeek: Brian

I believe so. The part number is now written on the snares, just like the newer ones. If you don't trust the number, he knows them as the "Pseudo Parallel Snare," but not as Throw-off II. This is what my bill shows:


    You ordered the following products:

I just emailed him through his website and saw that he now takes paypal as well as credit cards. Thanks for the invoice copy. I now wait for his reply!
