1930s Dominion Ace Snare Butts/Strainers wanted

Loading...

Hi I'm looking for some original snare butts/strainers for my Dominion Ace restoration project(s). Any help appreciated.

I managed to track down an internal mechanism for this one. I'm making up a new connecting rod as the one supplied had been modified and was too short.

I don't plan to fit the individual snare wires but to have the original butts with adjusters would be a boost.

I'm thinking I may be able to make up something out of a simple slimmed down aftermarket throw off lever on a neat mounting plate. Got a design in mind. The key will be having a guide roller to keep the string tension constant.

Just seen another nice looking Ace for sale in the US. Has the original wires and butts - though one is in need of attention.
