it looks like what i've had, but i don't know the first thing about these details. i just hit stuff. hopefully someone else can illuminate the situation before you fork over $50.

Yep. The seller is Bentley's Drum Shop. I'm pretty sure it will indeed fit L&L holes, being that it's an exact copy of the original L&L throw. You could always call or email the store to confirm.

Just to add to my last post:

The ad copy clearly states that it will fit all Leedys and gives the hole measurements.

Quote:

Here is a Brand New reproduction Leedy 3-Point Strainer! This Strainer retrofits any of the vintage versions from the past! From center left hole to center right hole is 1.5in and top left to the bottom hole is 2 5/8in. See our matching butt plate, another one of our auctions!

They've dropped the price as well... it used to be $75!

That strainer is a very nice period reproduction and well worth the $$.

Cheers!

Thanks for the input everyone...I assume using a reproduction throw off will effect the value of the snare, anyone care to comment on this?

I bought one of the reproduction throws and it looks great and functions as it should, I could not be happier.

I just bought a set today for a 38'/39' Leedy I'm working on. The parts look great. I'll cast my vote after I get them on the drum. But I bought them because they are an excellent repro of the originals.

Too many great drums to list here!
