P-83 brass, just plain simple and reliable... and the newer P-86 Millennium.

I have an original and the Reproduction model.

The new one is 'beefier' and will not disengage as the original was prone to doing. However, with the repro, you have to depress the end of the throw the snares off. It is a step that some might find inconvenient if having to switch back and forth during playing. But, I am very happy with what Gretsch did with the repro MS Strainer overall. Some of the parts in the original throwoff were soft metal....married to a harder steel piece for instance....and would strip (the dial being steel and the barrel-like receptor being brass).

The Repro - at $88....and $32 for the single point butt-end - is a bargain compared to rounding up an original via eBay for example......$200-$300.

There are many other manufacturer's models which in my opinion are far more stylish and beautiful, but when it comes to simplicity, efficiency, and reliability I've never found a better one than the Ludwig P83.

Agreed. I'm not a fan of the P85, but I love this P83 that's on my '59/'60 pre-serial COB. :cool:

Whoops, I was thinking the P-83 was the small strainer when I posted my likes. I meant P-84, so small, simple and reliable.

According to the site I went to it's called a P-84. But maybe that site is wrong and it's a P-80. I'm so confused!!! Help2
