When I was at Stone Mountain a number of years ago, Fred Sanford was hanging around the band area with a
Yamaha prototype pipe band snare based off the Sforzando. It was sweet! Regrettably, it never made it to market. Probably the best pipe band snare out there right now is the Andante. I haven't heard the
Dynasty, but I'm not a fan of their marching band version.
