DW Craviotto Snare - FOR SALE

[Spoonman]

Built May 20, 1998
14x5.5 with chrome hardware, not brass, which is all in great shape!
Prefer to sell locally (Seattle) but will ship within continental US for $50 or so (Florida or Maine might be a bit more)
DFO member price is $950 + shipping

Available to answer questions.

Not really being played, so it needs someone who will.

Might that be you?!?

I have a buddy that lives in your town. He's not a drummer! My DW Craviottos are not signed so both must be pre-98.....

Yours looks amazing with the brass that's still bright.......GLWS!

Thanks JazzDrumGuy! It’s a great snare.
I just adjusted my note above, since the hardware is chrome, not brass. (That’s what I get for using my iPhone at night!)

beautiful.
Looks like one of Charlie Watt's DW snares

Interesting. I thought the Craviottos all came with brass hardware. I have one this size and also a 6.5" and both have brass hardware. Oddly, the smaller one has very tarnished brass and the older one looks perfect and brand new.

Your snare looks like it's in fantastic shape!

Now…wouldn’t that be something if it was! (I acquired this back in mid 2010…)

They came in every hardware color (from brass to black chrome) and outfit (turret and tube lug), and finish DW offered when they had the Craviotto snares.
