6/28 update: this is a heck of a buy at this low price!

This sale isfor onevintage 1960\'s LudwigSnare Drum.Basically a Jazz Festival 8 lug model with P-83 strainer.

Just check out the12 clear close-up super-size pictures to help describe this niceitem. Some are with flash, others aren\'t.

This is listed as Seller-Refurbished because:

I took a Ludwigkeystone badge eramarching snare drum shell(10\" x 14\"), and cut it downto 5 1/2\" tall. It\'s the 3 ply Mahogany/Poplar/Maple shell with rock Maple reinforcing rings. I brought the top reinforcing ring down andre-glued it in place (by the way I\'ve down dozens of these conversions, thisone was done with a lot of experience!).I then cut a new bearing edge on the top side. The bottom bearing edge hassnare bedstoo. I plugged and sanded flush3leftover holes, one was from a Ludwig tom mount that had been added to the marching drum shell, and the other two holes were from a factory leg rest.

The two butt plate holes and P-83 throw-offholes were already there. Note: I have the \"before shot\" picture of thedrum if you want me to email it to you.

I hadAce hardware match Ludwig\'s 60\'s white resicote, and I re-painted the insides.

This is sold \"in-complete\" as I don\'t have the two rims, heads, tension rods, and wires to complete the custom build. Right now the top and bottom green sparkle area\'s look taller then the silver stripe, but when you put heads on this drum the 3 horizontal stripes will be even.

A 14\" shell is44\" around so I cut my strips in 11\" lengths, so there are 4 vertical wrap seams on the shell. Those seams are covered up under every other lug asseen in the close up pictures. Once you mountheads and tension rods, theywill cover the rest of the 4 vertical seams.

I put a pre-serial numberedkeystone badge on thedrum. I have the nice grommet tool to re-installthe badge, and the correct Ludwig brass grommet was used too.

The 8 correct jazz festival bowtie lugs are in nice condition still.The chrome on thelugshave somescratches, pitting and \"use marks\" for sure, but they still shine nicely. They are the heavy duty 1960\'s castings too, not the cheapie thin newer ones.

Ludwig block logo on both the butt plate,and the P-83 throw-off/strainer.

I\'m very happy with how this custom build re-wrap projectturned out!Absolutely 100% fully disclosed listing! :o)
