Received my 14 X 10 Blue Acrylic see through shell yesterday and it was absolutely gorgeous. DFD was able to help me retrofit a Premier High Tension Pipe Band Snare Drum with the blue acrylic shell. It took some tinkering as expected for the internal snare mechanism because of the mechanical design of this drum but it came out perfect! I will send photos today for the company brag board. The pitch and sound is even greater and has even more projection than with the original wood shell. Kudos galore to the team of DFD. Thank you. Frank Z.
