Very Old Ludwig Pedal Last viewed: 17 minutes ago

Posts: 719 Threads: 116

I recently came accross this very old Ludwig bass pedal that I know nothing about. It says Ludwig Pedal, Ludwig & Ludwig Chicago, IL, Pat 5-25-09, 7-15-24. I couldn't find any information about it on the VDG, but it is pictured with the kit in the first catalog on there from 1918. Supprisingly this thing has a really awesome feel with nice tension, it is a bit wobbly though. Anyone have any info or input on this pedal?

That's a refinement of the original Ludwig & Ludwig bass pedal that started in 1909. That one dates from the mid-late 1920's

Cool thanks for the date LD! It seems like a cool piece of history, but it'll just sit on my floor forever, if anyone has a 20s Ludwig kit and wants to add an era pedal I'll gladly trade for anything with the Slingerland name on it.

From vintagemore2000

this is the 1923 one piece footboard model.

Its got to be later than that vintagemore......he stated it had two patent dates on it, one that dated 1924.....I'm sure its the same model though.....just offered a bit later than the original issue....
