I recently found on eBay a Tamburo Original stave snare which will perfectly complement my Tamburo Original maple set (see the last picture: this was a minimum set up - with a 6.5" x 14" snare - to jam a little bit with friends).
The snare is only 4.25" deep (by 14"), but has an incredible body and is extremely sensitive and powerful. I could not really check its sound at different tunings (for different reasons I currently can't play very much), but I can say that it is a quite incredible drum (like all Tamburo Original drums). Tuned high, it has killer rimshots.
As you can see, the shell is extremely thin with reinforcing rings. The inside of the shell is rounded only near the edges, which creates a kind of diamond design. The seller said the hoops are brass, but I am not really sure they are. The strainer is similar to the one found on Pearl snares at the beginning of the nineties: it is not very nice, but it works correctly (it is the same mounted on the 6.5" snare shown on the last picture).
In my opinion the lugs deserve a particular mention: in fact, I personally find that those old Tamburo Original lugs are extremely classy.
I can post more pictures in case some of you are interested. As soon as possible I will post the entire set with both snares.
