Hy guys
just finished this Tacton Drumset. Got it cheap over ebay. On the first pic you see the way i got it. The former owner made some awful restoration with a cheap self glueing wrap. Did not look very nice. So i decided to rewrap this kit! Just wanted to share this with you guys:-) regards Christian |

It's a good job, Chris.
Are these wood shells, or they are a "DDR school version" made from bakelized cellulose? Cheers, George. |

Hi Scott,
You're partly right --- the shells made from rolled paper impregnated by bakelite resin. In his job Chris painted the internal shell surface --- it's the good way to stop the terrible smell which begun after one year of life such shells and continued during all the following time... Bakelite (phenolic resin) inventor was an american Leo Baekeland (ethnic belgian)... Cheers, George. |
