Throw-off mechanism "trio piano-forte-plus op. 2"
The innovative Kolberg snare throw-off mechanism "trio piano-fort-plus op.2" impresses with its elegant design, the perfect construction and the worldwide unique luxurious adjustment possibility of three separate strainers:
"trio"
Three independent throw-off mechanisms equipped with an eccentric lever regulate the three snare strainers individually.
"piano-forte"
Each of the three eccentric levers have instant "piano" and "forte" settings. The snare pressure on the head is thus regulated in two levels. In the "piano" setting the snares have a very sensitive response even in utmost pianissimo at the edge of the drum. With the "forte" setting you have a direct crisp and dry fortissimo sound in the middle of the drum.
"plus"
The central lever works the same way as in the Kolberg snare throw-off "piano-fort-plus op.1": In addition to the "piano" or "forte" setting, the contact pressure of the complete snare system on the snare head can be increased very finely in numerous levels ("plus" function). When the snares are thrown off completely at the zero position, all previously made settings of the lever are preserved and retrievable (memory function).
- On the opposite side there are three large user-friendly knurled screws for fine-tuning of each strainer.
- All operating elements are smooth-running and can be adjusted absolutely noiselessly.
- Due to the processing of high-quality materials, the machine is long-term maintenance-free.
Snares
The three different strainers are equipped with the following snares:
- 6 wire-wound snares
- 6 gut snares
- spiral snare unit (5 spirals)
