{"product_id":"cvl-drums-shells-fut-sassofrasso-5-4mm-14-x7-403220","title":"Sassofrasso Shell 5.4Mm 14\"X7\"","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis CVL shell fits into a \"workshop\" approach to drums, where each element is chosen to build an instrument that reflects the player's identity. Made in Italy, it benefits from an exclusive manufacturing process developed by CVL, designed to reduce the amount of glue compared to so-called traditional methods, thereby preserving a more organic acoustic behavior. The ISO 9001 certification oversees the production process to ensure consistency from shell to shell, while the sustainable development approach highlights attention to traceability and respect for wood sourcing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is This Drum\/Shell For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shell is aimed at drummers and snare drum makers, workshops, as well as custom enthusiasts who want to control every parameter of their instrument (hardware, trigger, lug placement, vent, etc.). It is particularly suited for \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to expert\u003c\/strong\u003e profiles comfortable with assembly and drilling, or supported by a professional. In terms of styles, its 14-inch format makes it a natural base for a versatile snare drum, comfortable from rock to pop, funk to contemporary music, depending on the choice of hoops, heads, and timbre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key point of this shell is its \u003cstrong\u003eunpierced delivery\u003c\/strong\u003e: no constraints on the placement of lugs, trigger, butt plate, or vent hole. The bearing edges are offered as \u003cstrong\u003estandard 45-degree inside\u003c\/strong\u003e, a profile appreciated for its precision and tuning ease, while still allowing the option to request \u003cstrong\u003enon-bear edged shells\u003c\/strong\u003e for specific projects. The 6-ply Sassofrasso construction and 5.4 mm thickness aim for an effective compromise between sensitivity, projection, and stability, while the 5-year warranty secures the investment in a component designed to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSassofrasso\u003c\/strong\u003e is sought after for a balanced musical response, with a sense of \u003cstrong\u003ewarmth\u003c\/strong\u003e in the low-midrange and an attack that remains clear without becoming harsh. On a snare drum, this type of wood promotes a well-defined fundamental note, useful for achieving a \"full\" sound at low to medium volumes, while maintaining definition when dynamics increase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e5.4 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e thickness (6 plies) directly influences the shell's behavior: it generally provides controlled resonance, good tuning stability, and sufficient projection for live contexts. The \u003cstrong\u003e45-degree inside\u003c\/strong\u003e bearing edge enhances attack precision and harmonic clarity, helping to produce a clean, articulate, and responsive sound, especially with medium to high tunings. As always, the final character will also depend on the choice of heads, hoops, type of timbre, and installed hardware.\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:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e6x Sassofrasso\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement of future drilling holes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003epossibility to use a LO16 or LO26 template\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--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\u003eSustainable development\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eminimizing environmental impact by continuously improving manufacturing processes and respecting wood sourcing\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--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\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e5 years\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBearing edges\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eStandard 45-degree inside (option to request non-bear edged shells)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Cvl Drums Shells","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54357760639251,"sku":"403220","price":105.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/95164ee0577cd53b6377581cc99a9734ad7d3fb0_CVL_SAS_54_14_7.jpg?v=1789166116","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/cvl-drums-shells-sassofrasso-shell-5-4mm-14-x7-403220","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
