..., stand and case. But what's going on with the snare mechanism? If it has never left the bedroom, how did this happen? By the serial number, I would have thought an early snare, but the attachments to the cross bars are late style. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sonor-Signature ... 500wt_1189 |

Gregory can you elaborate on the differences? I see nothing wrong, but I've never paid close attention... |

Late style, bent bars with simple screw attachments to the end plates that are recessed to hold the bars.  Early style, straight bar, with complex attachments: Knurled thumb screws and knurled locking nuts.  The snare in question has straight bars, but with the late style end plates. |

It is possible that there was a transition period where the straight bars were still used and the bizarrely complex attachment points were abandoned. I've never seen one before,but now that I look at the '84 catalog, the bars appear to be straight. No direct shots to see them clearly. I read the ad too quickly. It states mid to late '80s. That mechanism is definitely not late '80s, but it could well be mid. My bad. If I recall, speculation was that the bent bars were meant to keep the mechanism from landing on some snare stand baskets when snares were turned off. |
