(The height was adjusted.)

The snare wires will be distorted if the height isn't correct.

Opposite side

(Also the height was adjusted.)

These are the black elastic strips attached to the snare frame.
But, they had become weakened with age.

So, I found the same strips at a Japanese store called TOKYU HANDS.
It's a very good store for the person who likes a handicraft like me.

This is an elastic cord package for the handicrafts.
The width is 3.5mm. (about 9/64 in.)

Yes, it has same shape & width & color!

Maybe these length are 18cm (about 7") first...

The view of the assembled black elastic cord.

Back (butt) side

The clear lacquar interior is a character of the wooden Dyna-sonic.

It hardly has the snare bed...

The edge shape of snare side

It has 5-ply and 5-ply reinforcement rings.

Overlooking from the snare side

This is one of my favorite views...
