George Stone Mastercraft Bass Drum Last viewed: 1 day ago

Posts: 1 Threads: 1

I purchased a rather interesting George Stone bass drum posted on the Boston Craigslist recently: a Mastercraft.

The drum has a most interesting internal tensioning system. The claws are connected to a coupling on the interior of the drum, and pass out through the shell through thin slits to engage the wood hoop. The coupling uses a pair of bevel gears to extend or retract the claws in response to clockwise or counterclockwise turning of the tuning key.

Rob Cook wrote up a Stone field drum, owned by David Huelsing, that uses this same tensioning system.

Questions: has anyone out there seen a George Stone drum with this tensioning system

Seasons Greetings.

Where did you find the Rob Cook article about the Stone Field drum? Could you possibly post or email the link to [email]nmwhite9@gmail.com[/email]?

Best,

Nick
