{"product_id":"cvl-drums-shells-fut-sapin-5-4mm-14-x6-403165","title":"Fir Shell 5.4Mm 14\"X6\"","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning Within the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCVL designs and manufactures shells in Italy intended for drum making and customization. This fir shell fits within a \"workshop\" approach: providing a ready-to-assemble shell with consistent manufacturing quality and process control (ISO 9001 certification), while leaving drummers or builders the choice of hardware, placement, and sonic orientation. The exclusive process developed by CVL aims to use less glue than traditional methods to preserve a more natural vibrational behavior of the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Shell Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 14-inch shell is primarily aimed at drummers looking to move into \"custom\" territory: personalized snare drum projects, set modifications, restoration, or creating an instrument with character. It is also well suited for technicians, craftsmen, demanding DIYers, and schools\/workshops assembling educational instruments. Style-wise, it is versatile: rock, pop, funk, soul, modern jazz, alternative music... the final sound will largely depend on the choice of heads, hoop type, trigger, and tuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and New Developments\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shell is delivered \u003cstrong\u003eunpierced\u003c\/strong\u003e: holes for lugs, trigger, butt plate, and vent must be drilled. This approach ensures maximum compatibility with your hardware (lug spacing, screw diameter, trigger position) and facilitates both vintage-style projects and modern setups. To assist with placement, you can use a Sparedrum \u003cstrong\u003eLO16\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eLO26\u003c\/strong\u003e template to correctly position future drillings. For a clean job, it is recommended to use \"hardwood\" drill bits and to \u003cstrong\u003emeasure and verify\u003c\/strong\u003e the required diameters according to your hardware before drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChamfers are standard with a \u003cstrong\u003e45-degree internal profile\u003c\/strong\u003e, a common choice for good head seating and precise response. There is also an \u003cstrong\u003eoption to request unchamfered shells\u003c\/strong\u003e, which will interest very specific projects (custom chamfer profile, more artisanal approach, or reproducing particular specifications).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFir\u003c\/strong\u003e is a wood that generally provides an \"easy\" playing feel: the shell responds quickly, with broad vibration and natural musicality. On a \u003cstrong\u003e5.4 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e shell, this relatively lightweight nature favors open resonance, some softness in attack, and nuanced dynamics, which can be highly appreciated for medium to low tunings or sensitive settings oriented towards ghost notes and articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e6-ply\u003c\/strong\u003e construction seeks balance: enough structure to remain stable and homogeneous while retaining breathability. The CVL process using \u003cstrong\u003eless glue\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to freer shell vibration, with a more pronounced \"wood\" feel and sustain that expresses itself depending on your assembly choices (hoops, tension rods, heads, vent, damping). The standard 45-degree internal chamfer tends to provide definition, better attack precision, and consistent response around the entire hoop, especially useful if you aim for a versatile and easy-to-tune instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:10;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWood Species\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eFir\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrilling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eshell unpierced\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:11;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Plies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e6 plies\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo Drill\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eholes for lugs, trigger, butt plate, and vent\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:12;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e5.4 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Templates\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSparedrum LO16 or LO26 template to correctly place future drill holes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:13;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e14 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTools\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003euse \u0026quot;hardwood\u0026quot;
