  • Overview

    The big brother to the drop-dead gorgeous piccolo from Beyond Shimano, this time in 5.5" depth and an even sharper 1:9 bearing edge. The finish is Burned Charcoal Burst, with the finish being created using a gas burner and then coated in several applications of oil. 

    Only three units ever made - the darker version was produced later than the other two. I've included pictures of all three as the finishes are unique. Which would you choose? (it's "all of them of course" isn't it!) 

    See the photos below for images of the production process.

    さてさて、マイブームのBurn Snare、日本語で焦がしスネア2台目の写真を掲載させて頂きます。2台目は焼き加減はレアで少し浅い焼き具合と成っております。濃い方の1台目は下の方に掲載させて頂いております。

    社内の話の手違いでバーズアイメイプルのシェルが1台出てきました。そこで前回好評だった焦がし(Burn)スネアを1台作成いたしました。今回はバーズアイメイプルの杢目を活かせるギリギリの焦がしを試み、ブラウン系に仕上げてみました。表面には焦がした後に6回程のオイル・フィニッシュを試みました。焦がし処理は今までで一番手を掛けたスネアです。

    ※シェル保管室はこまめにチェックしないといけないと痛感いたしました。
