Downbeat piccolo value ? Last viewed: 26 seconds ago

Posts: 1880 Threads: 292

Hey gents, and a Happy end to this Easter wk end. Out of curiosity, i always wondered what the actual value my downbeat piccolo snare drum was. I usually know a ball park value, but seeing as how many of you Ludwig experts know quite a bit more than i do in this regard, i thought i'd ask your opinion. There is some cracking in the wrap around the badge (minor), some non original tension rods, and even though i have the original throw off, it is missing the small screw and bolt that allows the lever to lift the throw-off up and down.. I replaced it with new a version of the P-84 lever but kept the original part which is what is shown in the pic as part P-1007, and one missing original lug screw and washer. These appear to be the only issues.. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Btw, no way am i selling this snare drum ;) It is one of my prized possessions in my little collection. ;)

And sorry about the pic being crooked. I just couldn't fix it.. Lame

cheers,

Rob

66/67 downbeat with canister

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

A perfect one would go for about $400, that is all original parts, working, little to no fade or rust, no cracks in the finish.

Deduct from there: non original rods, strainer, cracks in the WMP. Probably in the $275 range.

I thought it would've brought in a little more, but it's ok. I'm not planning to sell it anyway..

Was just curious. Thanks for the evaluation.. ;)

I though so as well! I checked sold listings on Ebay though and found that Human71's estimate to be right on the money. Most recent they have sold close to , but still under $400. A rare green sparkle sold for over $900

I want one in OBP, but the phrase "Hen's Teeth" keeps popping up...

I used to keep track of these but stopped to concentrate on my cymbal pricing research. Interesting to see the historical (pre GFC) situation and how at $400 prices are pretty much as they have been. The older median expected price (for completed sales) was $440 with half selling for between $351 and $591.

You guys looking for a particular color can see what passed by over the years...
