Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
This CVL shell fits into a "custom" and precision manufacturing approach: a high-end base designed for assemblers, makers, and drummers who want to build their instrument piece by piece. The manufacturer highlights an exclusive process that uses less glue than so-called traditional methods to preserve the wood's acoustic behavior and achieve a more natural sound. Production is certified ISO 9001, with particular attention to sustainable development and traceability of wood sourcing.
Who This Drum/Shell Is For
This 14-inch shell is primarily aimed at drummers and technicians who wish to assemble a custom snare drum, as well as workshops and luthiers looking for a reliable base for a "custom drum" project. Its 14-inch size corresponds to the most versatile standard, suitable for both studio and stage contexts. Thanks to the mahogany, it is particularly suited to styles where body and warmth are sought: rock, pop, soul, blues, reggae, indie, acoustic music, and all situations where the snare drum must remain present without becoming harsh in the highs.

Questions frequently asked
Is this CVL 14 x 6.5 inch shell already drilled?
The shell is supplied undrilled: holes for hoops, strainer, butt plate, and air vent still need to be made. This configuration allows for choosing the placement according to the selected hardware.
What sound does a 5.4 mm mahogany snare drum shell provide?
The 6 plies of mahogany with a thickness of 5.4 mm favor rich midrange, present fundamentals, and smooth highs. The thin thickness maintains sensitivity while ensuring coherent projection. This construction suits medium to low head tensions and dynamic playing.
Which templates should be used to drill this 14-inch shell?
The Sparedrum LO16 or LO26 templates are recommended to position the future drillings. Drill bits intended for hardwood are appropriate, after verifying the diameters required by each hardware component.
What are the chamfers on the CVL 14 x 6.5 mahogany shell?
The chamfers are machined to the standard 45-degree inside angle, for a clean attack and precise head response. A request for an unchamfered shell remains possible to create a custom edge profile.
For which styles is a 14-inch mahogany snare drum shell suitable?
Its 14-inch diameter and 6.5-inch depth suit snare drum projects intended for rock, pop, soul, blues, or reggae. The natural finish leaves the wood visible.
