[COLOR="Red"]SOLD![/COLOR]

Howdy,

Every drummer should own one of these! This one is a beauty, excellent condition and it has it's original 60's Ludwig hard-shell suit-case and a cherry condition WFL flat-base snare stand. All original except for heads. White felt baseball bat muffler and Pat. Pending snares. Just the way you would have gotten it from the music store in 1965 when the drum was made.

This drum is super clean (see photos) and it is a really nice vintage package with its original case and stand.

$300. + actual shipping for: Snare drum, hardcase & WFL flat-base stand.

$250. + actual shipping for: Snare drum alone

All items are in A-1 condition. Some wear on case. More photos to follow later.

First come, first served. If you don't have a Keystone Acro in your stash, this is the one you want to buy. Won't last long! Serious inquiries, PM me.

John

This drum was never played or it was well taken care of. It's is literally in "brand new" condition.

The future owner is going to be very happy with this snare.

Good luck with your sale.

Thanks Tim, yes, it's a super clean one. What makes it cool is; it has its original hard-case and WFL flat-base stand. The case shows some wear, but the drum and the stand are both in primo condition. I'll add a photo of the case and stand a little later. I don't figure this one will last long. The first guy to see it that has been looking for a KS Acro is going to snag it.

My Keystone Acro changed my opinion that only wood snares mattered.

The best money I ever spent. I've been playing it continuously since I purchased it a few months ago. I can't stop :)

Not trying to thread drift but I couldn't help but notice this tambourine on your floor!

Is that a famous copper looking 98A model with the double rows of jingles?

Yep! I have two of them. One complete and one with the head and tension rods missing, that one serves as just a tambourine. I'm willing to sell the second (incomplete) one if you're looking for one. I don't know where you'd find the little tension rods, but heads are easily available for it. I think these guys are 10" inchers.

I'm getting a few tire-kickers for the package... won't last long. No BS, this is a really nice, clean Acro. If you need one, this is the one to buy! Low mileage drum for a 65'!!!!!
