Guys,

I've taken in a very nice 5x14 Slinger-Leedy COB, Shelly Manne model, blue oval Chicago badge snare drum for payment to do some work. It's in really good condition, just needs a good cleaning. However, the snare wires are not original. In researching what wires to use, I thought I'd ask.

What aftermarket wires could be used for this drum. It had the correct strainer and butt. Originally they had the metal straps on both end and extended past the bed on both ends, probably about 16" long.

Help appreciated!
