Hi everyone, This is one of two snares I bought to make up a Levon Helm style set with the idea I'd keep the one I liked best. This is a 15x5 solid one ply mahogany shell with one ply maple hoops. I decided to keep a 14x3 for my kit so this should go to someone who will use it. You can see it's cleaned up and in great shape. It has an odd throw-off I haven't seen before so I'm including pics of it closed and open. Works fine. I'm assuming this is a Leedy or Ludwig anywhere from 1900 to the 1920's but if anyone knows more let me know. Hopefully that throw-off will be a clue. Anyway, it sounds great! Throw a wallet on top and you have that classic Levon tone. Good thing is that modern heads fit easily which is very unusual for this era I think. It has a brand new Remo Skyntone batter head and brand new Hazy 300 snare side head. Also brand new Puresound snare wires. Needs nothing but a player and stand!
$100 plus postage costs.
Thanks!
Steve
