Klaus Schwärzler Signature THZ
The THZ black hornwood model is heavier, which does not necessarily entail a darker natural frequency of the stick. However, the higher density of the wood gives a full, dark sound on the snare-drum, so this Schwärzler model is ideally suited for use in the orchestra.
