Posts: 152 Threads: 76

can anyone help me identify this snare? the strainer was replaced at some point; you can see a small hole under the existing one. it appears to be three-ply. also, any idea what these go for on ebay? thanks much to anyone who can help

I believe it to be a fifties Broadcaster. I`m using the badge with small stick no tack as reference. The hole under the microsensitive throw does not line up with Gretsch throws. Don`t know what it`s there for. Are there any other holes under the throw ? look inside.

That`s my limited knowledge of Gretsch.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!
