Craviotto 4x14" Timeless Timber Solid Birch Snare Drum - #7 of 25

This is a beautiful pre-owned Craviotto 4x14" snare drum. Crafted from centuries-old birch harvested from the bottom of Lake Superior, this Craviotto Timeless Timber snare is truly, literally one-of-a-kind. The solid birch shell was steam bent and shaped by Johnny Craviotto in 2002, and is outfitted with ten tube lugs, Trick throw-off, and gold engraved hoops.  

During the logging boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, some of the logs being transported through the northeast waterways sank to the bottom of the lake, where the icy temperatures and low oxygen content kept them perfectly preserved for over 100 years. In the 1990s, many of these logs—from trees already hundreds of years old at the time of their submergence—were harvested and made available to discerning and sustainability-conscious craftspeople for premium grade furniture, flooring, and musical instruments.

The drum is number 7 of 25 made like it, and the nameplate is still blank. Includes the original, barely played heads. A certificate signed by Johnny is included, and the drum is also signed by Bill Platt. Don't miss the chance to add this very special snare drum to your collection.
