Craviotto 7.5x14" Private Reserve Timeless Timber Solid Birch Snare Drum - #1 of 3

This is a pre-owned Craviotto 7.5x14" snare drum crafted in 2022 from centuries-old birch harvested from the bottom of Lake Superior. This is number one of three drums made like this and in this size. The solid birch shell has an abalone inlay and is outfitted with ten diamond lugs, vintage-style three-point strainer, and wood hoops with matching inlay.
During the logging boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, some of the logs being transported through the northeast waterways sank to the bottom of the lake, where the icy temperatures and low oxygen content kept them perfectly preserved for over 100 years. In the 1990s, many of these logs—from trees already hundreds of years old at the time of their submergence—were harvested and made available to discerning and sustainability-conscious craftspeople for premium grade furniture, flooring, and musical instruments.
It's no secret that we have a special place in our hearts for Craviotto drums. Not only are they some of the most well-crafted, visually stunning, and sonically versatile drums ever made, but our close personal and business relationship with Johnny Craviotto goes back to the early 2000s, and his legacy lives on through the current quality and craftsmanship evident in these remarkable drums.
