{"product_id":"cvl-drums-shells-fut-vintage-5-4mm-14-x12-233630","title":"VINTAGE SHELL 5.4MM 14\"X12\"","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning Within the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this series, CVL draws direct inspiration from the shells found on many snares and toms of the 60s and 70s: mahogany plies combined with a softer core, here in poplar, to achieve that immediately recognizable \"old school\" character. This approach clearly positions this shell within the range as a \u003cstrong\u003evintage\u003c\/strong\u003e option: a preferred choice for drummers and manufacturers seeking a warm, musical, and highly responsive tonal foundation, while benefiting from modern and consistent manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Shell Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 14-inch shell is aimed at both \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eexperts\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as artisans, luthiers, and custom build enthusiasts who want to control every detail of their instrument. Its vintage DNA is particularly suited to \u003cstrong\u003eclassic rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003esoul\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efunk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ejazz\u003c\/strong\u003e, and any situation where an expressive snare with body and beautiful musicality at low to medium volume is desired. Being \u003cstrong\u003eun-drilled\u003c\/strong\u003e also makes it an excellent option for replicating a period setup or creating a unique instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis CVL shell emphasizes optimized manufacturing: the exclusive process developed by the brand uses \u003cstrong\u003eless glue\u003c\/strong\u003e than so-called \"traditional\" methods. In practice, this aims to better preserve the wood's natural vibration, resulting in a shell that feels more \"alive\" and direct under the sticks. The \u003cstrong\u003eISO 9001\u003c\/strong\u003e certification highlights a commitment to consistent production, a crucial point when seeking a reliable shell for a high-end snare or tom project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: the shell is delivered \u003cstrong\u003eun-drilled\u003c\/strong\u003e. Holes for the \u003cstrong\u003elugs\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003etrigger\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ebutt plate\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003event hole\u003c\/strong\u003e need to be made. This freedom is a major advantage for choosing your hardware and ergonomics but requires method and precision during marking and drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combination of \u003cstrong\u003eAfrican mahogany\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003epoplar\u003c\/strong\u003e is a typically vintage recipe: mahogany provides immediate \u003cstrong\u003ewarmth\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003erich mids\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a slightly \"soft\" texture that highlights rimshots and ghost notes. The poplar, softer and more balanced, contributes a \u003cstrong\u003esupple\u003c\/strong\u003e response and \u003cstrong\u003emusical\u003c\/strong\u003e resonance without excessive harshness in the highs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a thickness of \u003cstrong\u003e5.4 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, the shell generally exhibits very pleasant behavior: enough firmness for projection while maintaining \u003cstrong\u003egood openness\u003c\/strong\u003e and easy vibration. The \u003cstrong\u003e45-degree inner bearing edges\u003c\/strong\u003e promote a clean attack and a precise feel when tuning, while preserving that \"vintage\" foundation linked to the wood species and ply construction.\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\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003evintage shell\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e45-degree inner\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\u003ePlies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e2x African Mahogany - 1x White Poplar - 2x African Mahogany\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: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\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\u003eSustainability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eminimizing environmental impact and continuous process improvement\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\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e14\u0026quot;\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustom options available\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003especial shells with choice of woods and plies on request\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Cvl Drums Shells","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358373990675,"sku":"233630","price":191.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/647d463691bcd000eb7ef420dbf5ac8cbaed72de_CVL_VIN_54_14.jpg?v=1792556780","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/cvl-drums-shells-vintage-shell-5-4mm-14-x12-233630","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
