Description: Hello and thank you for checking out my listings! For sale via “Buy It Now” is (1) PAIR of reproduction "JT's MASTERSTRAPS" snare straps for 80's vintage Tama MASTERCRAFT and Powerline snare drums.These are custom made straps that I made personally by hand when recently working on my 1985 Piano White lacquer MASTERCRAFT snare drum (pictured). I wanted this drum to be as close to original as possible so I grabbed a roll of reinforced fiber strapping tape and made a set. It soon became obvious to me what a pain in the ass they are to make, so I made up a bunch of pairs to save you the hassle.Could you do the same thing and make them yourself? The answer is yes...gah-head, knock yourself out! Like I said, they're kind of tedious to make so I figured there might be a few guys out there that would rather not deal with the details and just want to get their Mastercraft back to as close to OEM as possible.These are made of 1" wide fiber reinforced strapping tape and are approximately 9" long.As you can see from some of the vintage Tama catalog pictures, these straps are a pretty darn close match to the OEM Tama straps.You pretty much feed these through the slots on your original Mastercraft extended snare wires, fold in half to double them up, feed into the throw and butt side clamps, and the fit is perfect. There's plenty of length for pulling them tight, so when you are good to go, just trim the ends to your liking with some sharp scissors.They fit very nicely through the snare wire slots without too much wiggle room. The thickness of the doubled up fiber tape provides a nice "bite" for the throw and butt side clamps when you crank the key head rods down to tension them. If you've ever tried to used thinner straps or ribbon on original Mastercraft snare wires, you know that the snare wires can pull unevenly to either side depending upon varying tension on the throw and butt side of the strainer. The close 1" strap fit keeps the wires more on center and really helps with getting the snare wires set up correctly. - Comes as (1) pair of straps, as in two straps, one for each side.- Obviously, the snare drum pictured isn't for sale. That should be obvious but you'd be surprised.- Ships via USPS First Class Mail with tracking for $4.25, sorry eBay won't allow a no tracking shipment.- Also Ships USPS International First Class.
