Posts: 1461 Threads: 75

Hi guys-a friend of mine wants to sell this beauty and i`m not a Luddy expert.Is this hammered bronze or brass ? It`s in great shape and hasn`t been altered and from what time frame of manufacture would it be from? I`ve got a rough idea as to late 80`s/early 90`s.Need your help on this one guys...

Thanks

Wayne

I have a very similar drum and it is the 5.5"version hand hammered bronze with serial number 3112859-my badge says Chicago IL and I an told it is from the mid 80's-it has the B stamp above the muffler knob in the correct position-I am told that Ludwig did the backward stamp sometimes to indicate bronze instead of brass but when they stopped making brass around the mid 80's the put the straight B on the bronze ones-mine is also the super sensitive version

Hi there!

I.M.H.O. I guess it´s a LB554K (6,5 bronze hammered s.s.), prior 97 (int. muffler built in)

I hope it helps!

About right for price.

I own a 5"x14" version of the drum, it's my favorite snare drum.

Too many great drums to list here!

Those US made bronze Ludwig snares are actually selling for slightly more that Black Beautys these days.

One of these days,just not today.

Thanks very much for your help guys.So would the $700.00-$800.00 range be a fair price for the Luddy 6.5 hammered bronze super sensitive? Anyone know when Ludwig moved from Chicago to Munroe?-that would help me date this snare abit better.Any idea on this one`s age(early-mid 90`s?) Many thanks again...

wayne -the move was in 85 I think. I think the last Chicago badges including the large Chicago badge were in 84. something like that!
