I recently compleated a major overhaul on Cory Smith’s A. Reamer “Grand Republic”. Some quasi-scientific shell deflection analysis revealed some areas of concern, leading to further reinforcement of the shell. The bearing edges and snare beds were massaged, then a sanding and a new clear coat was applied. The entire snare system features individually adjustable gut of three different sizes, and made in house. New hoops and heads complete the plan!
