Hi,

I just wanted to share my rough, recent acquisition.

I have seen DuAll Tone Flange drums, but was curious to know which were rarer, with or without the tone-flange.

All comments welcome.

Thank you.

That's a very interesting bearing edge. Looks dead flat. Was that common for the era where calf heads were the ones available. I've seen photos of really flat Rogers edges along the way, but hadn't seen a Slingerland like that. Beautiful find.

If you look at the top edge you will see holes in the top. There should be screws with a flat head that goes in those holes. Then the tone-flange (brass "Hub-cap"ring) sits on top of that. The bearing edge for the head is located on the tone flange ring, not the actual drum.

I would imagine a duAll tone flange would be more rare.

Thank you Dan, DolFan54.

I was wondering about that because of the catalog options I saw.

BTW, did you see the thickness of the mohogany? shell?

(Correct if wrong) It is a full 1/4 inch!

All I need to complete this is-

- tone-flange

- screws

- flange ring, and

- assorted knobs for the butt

!

Pity about the wrap though.

I sell the Tone Flange (hub cap) and brass ring reproductions...original TFs/rings go for 400.00, mine are 250.00 + 15.00 shipping. I have some in stock at this time. These are dead-on perfect reproductions. Feel free to contact me at [email]mike@curottodrums.com[/email]

The flat head wood screws can be found at Ace Hardware or any hardware store. Take the shell in to gauge depth/size

Gold sparkle tends to crack like your drum has, I've seen a few more just like that.

Try Olympic Drums in Oregon olympicdrums.com , they sell a few DuAll repro parts.

Good luck.
