Factory snare tuning

Post by Frank Godiva »

I’m pretty sure Sonor still tunes the snares at the factory with an oscilloscope since the 70s

I'd be curious to know what pitches/frequencies they tune to, and if it's changed over the years.

With tools like the Tunbebot and similar apps, factory tuning could be easily replicated.

I’ve heard F#3 at 185Hz so when you engage the wires it pitches up to G3 196Hz
