I have been looking for one of these for more than two years... You guys know the drill; search alert on Ebay and googling it "for sale" now and then... Nothing... Only 100 snares were made in 2007 for Yamaha's 40th anniversary so I was prepared for a long wait but while on vacation in Denmark, surfing a Danish online buy'n sell site one pops up for sale at a killer price. The ad was old so I called the guy sort of expecting it to be gone but he still had it and even knocked off 300$ from his asking price... And the best part apart from the sound... It has serial# 0002. The specs are 13x6,5 brass, handengraved with alu diecast hoops... Beautiful drum!!

0002 / 100 - No way!!

Truly a find, my friend!
 
Congrats! Perseverance pays off in the end. I love rare stuff, enjoy that snare, I bet it sounds as good as it looks!
