Detail 01
Steel strands
Steel is stiff and bright. More crack, more sustain in the buzz, and it cuts through a loud band.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement snare wires for a 13-inch snare drum, 24 strands in steel. For drummers restoring snare response on a smaller drum.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing broken or bent wires on a 13-inch snare
- Auxiliary or side snares that need crisp articulation back
- Drummers who want bright, cutting snare crack
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 14-inch snares — the wires will sit short of the bed
- Players after a warm, dry, quick-decay snare sound
- Anyone who needs a complete snare drum, not parts
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
24 strands
A middle count. Even response across the head, sensitive to ghost notes without choking the drum.
Detail 03
13 in. length
Cut for a 13-inch snare. Wire length must match drum diameter or the strands won't sit flat on the head.
Detail 04
Custom Pro Series construction
Individually set strands in the end plates, so tension stays even across the set instead of drifting strand to strand.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your snare is 13 inches — the length is fixed, not trimmable
- 02Snare cord or straps may not be in the box; check your throw-off
- 03Even tension at install matters or you'll get rattle and buzz
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit a 14-inch snare?
No. These are cut for 13-inch drums. A 14-inch version of the same wires exists — use that for a standard snare.
02Steel or brass snare wires — which should I get?
Steel is brighter with more crack and cut, good for loud playing. Brass is warmer and drier with faster decay. Steel is the standard sound.
03How do I know when snare wires need replacing?
Broken or bent strands, uneven buzz across the head, or a dead spot on one side. Bent strands lift off the head and rattle.
04What do I need to install them?
A drum key and a screwdriver. Detune the bottom head, seat the wires centered and flat, then retension evenly on both ends.
