Opened, but practically new and unused. It comes with a cool dedicated case with the "TN" initials. I bought another snare drum at the same time, so I'm selling this one. "Sounds that 'transcend' time have built history. The vintage sound that everyone dreams of from the 1930s to the 1960s, and the new sounds unique to 'now' that are born in each era... To create an all-around drum set that fully combines both, I, along with Pearl's staff, have poured all the experience and knowledge I know, and this might be the ultimate one I can think of 'now'. THE ULTIMATE SHELL... Mahogany softly and efficiently receives the vibration of the air inside, and the outer maple resonates it brightly and heavily at an extremely sharp speed. And I think the ultra-thin lacquer finish further accelerates that speed on the outside." by Takashi Numazawa ＜TNF1455S/C [TYPE 2 (4ply / 3.6mm)＞ "I never imagined that challenging the ultimate thinness would lead to elegance. What I always keep in mind is the balance between control in everything, good taste, and the instincts that should be hidden. It expresses its strong presence firmly at a whispering low volume, responds to all kinds of dynamic changes at an unbelievable level, and each shell begins to resonate in the same way as those changes." by Takashi Numazawa ＜Specifications＞ Shell: 4ply (3.6mm) Composite Shell (Outer: Maple 2ply (1.8mm) / Inner: Mahogany 2ply (1.8mm) w/ 2ply (1.8mm) Maple Reinforcement) Finish: Ultra-thin Nature Maple Lacquer Size: 14″x5.5″ Bearing Edge: Standard 45° Hoop / Tension Rods: Super Hoop II / 10 Tension Lugs: Classic Lugs (CL) Strainer / Butt: SR-17A / SR-150E Tension Bolts: Steel Tension Bolts (T-062) Snare Wire: 20-strand High Carbon Steel Snappy, unplated (S-022NU) Heads (Batter): REMO Coated Ambassador
