Vic Firth VF‑SGZN Symphonic Collection – Greg Zuber Signature Snare Stick "Nothung"
Ultimate Weight, Control & Orchestral Authority
Designed with Greg Zuber, Principal Percussionist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, the Vic Firth Nothung Signature Snare Stick is a premium concert snare model built for maximum control across the full dynamic spectrum.
This stick is purpose‑designed for orchestral musicians who demand authority, consistency and tonal depth in every stroke.
Mass and Balance Working in Harmony
The Nothung features a very large shaft diameter, long taper, and an oversized acorn tip, all working together to harness the natural weight of laminated birch.
This design allows the player to rely on mass rather than arm tension, improving stability, roll clarity and dynamic consistency – from soft passages to the most powerful fortissimo strokes.
A True Concert Snare Specialist
Created for general orchestral playing, the SGZN excels in symphonic, operatic and concert hall environments where rebound control, tone depth and projection are paramount.
The laminated birch construction ensures durability and uniformity while maintaining a refined, professional feel.
