CUSTOM ORDER SNARES
ALL CUSTOM ORDER SNARES ARE PRE-PAID ONLY
Before you order a custom (non-stock) snare, you need to understand how to give the snare a name so we can understand what you want. ALL Thompson Snares have a specific meaning for each number (or letter) in its' name. The following list describes what these letters and numbers refer to.
ORDERING CUSTOM ORDER SNARES
Find the snare closest to what you want to order,
note the price and add the cost of additional snare wire length
(per foot only). If you want to replace a snare part (or add a
snare part) look up the price of the part you want to replace
(or add) - see parts list page). deduct the cost of any removed
parts and add the cost of any added parts. This is your "per
snare" cost.
Example:
You want a Number 2 snare, 8 feet long with a heavy duty swivel
(#4) on the end. Look up the price of a standard 2XX-72"
snare. Then deduct the "part price" of a #2 tree lock.
Next add the cost of a #4 swivel. this is your new cost per snare.
This CUSTOM SNARE" is called a 2-"4S"-96. The "4S"
indicates the swivel size. (If it was a "standard" swivel
for this snare it would be called, simply, a 2S-96.
ALL CUSTOM ORDER SNARES ARE SOLD ON A PRE-PAY BASIS ONLY AND ARE NOT RETURNABLE.

FIRST NUMBER (00-0-1-2-3-4-5-6) indicates
wire diameter:
00 = 1/32" / 0 = 1/16" / 1 = 5/64" / 2 = 3/32"
/ 3 = 7/64" / 4 = 1/8" / 5 = 5/32" / 6 = 3/16"
REMAINING NUMBERS refer to wire length in inches. (A snare with
2 lengths of wire will have 2 sets of numbers.)
LETTERS:
"S" indicates a SWIVEL
"TS" indicates a TREE LOCK-SWIVEL (can be used as either
tree lock or swivel)
"XX" indicates a TREE LOCK type end tie.
