Hi all, a while ago I bought a second hand Pearl free floater. I love the sound of it... But:
the previous owner damaged the finish in some way (he didn't explain) and therefor he wrapped it in silver sparkle. Because I thought he overdid the sparkles a bit, he was willing to re-wrap it for me if I bought it. Personnaly I love the natural look of a free floater, but he wasn't really in to getting the silver finish back off, so he re-wrapped it in a "brushed gold" finish, that should come near the orginal colour...
To be honest, i still find it a bit to shiny. So I would really like to know if there's a chance to ever it in original brass colour. So my question for you guys: is it possible to get 2 wraps off and still have a nice looking snare (accept for the scars the previous owner left it with off course)?
Thx beforehand,
nico
