Tama PBC146 MNC Starphonic 14" x 6" Snare Drum Matte Natural Cordia

Starphonic Bubinga with Cordia Outer Ply

The Tama PBC146 14" X 6" Matte Natural Cordia Starphonic Snare features a 7mm (8-ply) Bubinga shell, finished with a stunning 1-ply outer layer of Cordia, which perfectly matches this snare's soft, warm tone. This warmth is achieved by using a thinner than standard shell than standard Starclassic Bubinga snares, which rounds out the tone of Bubinga wood, whilst maintaining outstanding resonance. The addition of Grooved Hoops subtly emphasises the sharp projection and warmth of Bubinga's low end.

The Tama PBC146 features Freedom Lugs and Claw Hooks - this quick release system offers simple, speedy replacement of drum heads without having to take all of the tension rods out of the lugs. The PBC146 also features a Linear-Drive Strainer/Detachable Butt, which provides greater control of the lever adjustment arm and more precise control of the strainer's deployment motion. By tilting the angle of the butt plate 30 degrees, this design holds the snare wire cords or tape more firmly and reduces unnecessary pressure on the strainer and shell. The Detachable Strainer Butt allows you to change your snare side head, but keeps the snare wire tension in its original state.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Tama PBC146 Starphonic Snare is a great option for drummers looking for a soft, warm Bubinga snare, with a beautiful Cordia finish.
