DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage 5.5x14" Ludwig Pioneer 6-lug snare drum that recently came into our shop on trade. Rarely played and mostly residing in storage for the past 50+ years, it features a Sky Blue Marine Pearl wrapped finish with tight seam, Keystone badge with number 42339, smooth bearing edges, clean white painted interior with no date stamp, and original heads and snare wires. We believe the batter hoop is nickel-over-brass due to its weight and the fact that it is not attracted by a magnet. The rest of the hardware seems to be nickel-over-steel with the exception of the baseball bat handle on the internal muffler, which appears to be chrome-over-steel.
As this is a vintage/used instrument, expect to find typical, age-appropriate signs of use and handling, including light scuffs and scratches, a bit of dust here and there, a few fingerprints, and some minor corrosion on the hardware. That said, the drum is very good overall condition, looks great, and sounds fantastic! Includes original case and stand, both of which are also in very good, fully functioning condition with only typical signs of age like light scuffs, scratches, and cracking/splitting on the stand's rubber feet.
Please contact us with any questions or to request additional photos. And remember, this vintage Ludwig snare drum ships FREE within the continental United States. Buyers outside the continental U.S. should message us for a shipping quote prior to purchase.
