and if you have a digital camera and a little time, I could use some help. The treaded rod with the knurled handle on my strainer became  bent so I removed the rod so I could straighten it. You need to remove the strainer from the shell and the knurled handle has a set screw to remove to get it apart. Anyway,I failed to note the placement of the spring and when I went to put the whole works back together, the spring popped out of place. For the life of me I can't figure out how it goes back in there. It works without it but doesn't have the same sweet action as before. Can anybody get a good close up that would suffice for explanation?
As an aside, I've had nothing but positive remarks about the sound of this snare, even by non-drummer people!
thanks, Pab
