Summary: Sexy snare strainer worth the extra bucks
Comment: First things first, if your snare strainer is drilled 2 1/2 in apart, standard for Ludwig snares, this will pop right in. Otherwise you'll have to figure it out. It fit my 1964 Ludwig snare perfectly.

Not only is this a beautiful solid brute with its knurled wheel, chrome, and art deco engraving, it is also a *much*better* machine. It's the neatest snare strainer operation I've ever seen. Just flip that top tab towards you to loosen the snares, flip it back to tighten. You can easily do it while playing, even snap the snares in time, if that's your thing. My teacher broke a strainer doing that, but it wouldn't happen with the P-86.

It really dresses up your snare and works way better, pay the extra bucks. It is simply better than the P-85. It is worth it.

Summary: P86 Throw-off review
Comment: I put this on a Ludwig acrolight snare shell. Was very please with the quality and fit of this product. Was debating to get the cheaper Ludwig throw-off, glad I went with this. Gives the drum a higher quality look as well as better adjustability for the snares and it works great.

Overall, highly reccomended for older era snare drums.
