I am in the process of rebuilding this 1926 Liberty Musical Instruments 26" bass drum. I need one tube lug 7" on centers. three tension rods and single hoop claws. I know these are not common to come by, but if you have any or a line one any, please let me know.

If EGO made the vintage brass in 7" I'd go that route, but they skip that size. Slingerland bought this company to start their production in 1928, so the rods would be the same if anyone has any to part with. The claws look like the same as what Ludwig used through the 30's. I'm going to try to source the correct parts before I build it Frankenstein style.

VERY unusual to see a Liberty bass drum. I have never encountered any in either natural wood or pearl covered. I find it interesting that they had those Slingerland style (I guess actually "Liberty-styled") T-rods. Very cool and historic bass drum!
