Re: Snare Tension - what am I doing wrong
21hah.. the Trick lever arm was already broken off when I bought that snare (part of why it was priced low). "Thanks to American Airlines", the guy told me. It's still functional though.
Re: Snare Tension - what am I doing wrong
22Thanks everyone for the feedback and suggestions so far.Updating the hardware is interesting but I mostly use a pretty nice Noble and Cooley snare and feel like I shouldn't really fuck with it.
BTW, I bought it used probably 15 years ago, and recently wrote them for some replacement parts which they sent free of charge. Ace fucking company.
I used to use the string type cords / wires to attach and if I double tied them onto the strainer it seemed like it helped, but my fat fingers are making that harder to do these days and have been using the nylon things more.

23FYI, tying cords and fishing things like snare cords/string has been made immensely easier for me with a pair of hemostats.

24Also, open the aperture of whatever you're tying to AS FAR AS IT WILL GO. You can manually hold tension on it as you tighten it back up.Garth wrote: Thu Sep 30, 2021 9:32 am FYI, tying cords and fishing things like snare cords/string has been made immensely easier for me with a pair of hemostats.

Re: Snare Tension - what am I doing wrong
26I have been using the same exact straps made of grosgrain ribbon on my Acrolite that would otherwise use cord for the past... um... 6 years. I think I just tied a loop around the bottom of the strainer (it's T-shaped) and called it good. I don't ever really need to adjust the tension and I beat the crap out of that thing. I just untie and retie it when I change wires.
