...oohhh yes, I remember those...you should have whupped him with the hose and taken possession just to show him you could....stupid people...can't we just all agree to lop off the heads of the stupid? I mean, afterall, stupidity IS a choice....

My favorite, self written quote:

"Ignorance may be overcome with education. Stupidity, however, is a lifelong endeavor...."

hey Gk how are you? Nice snare and the only other one i have seen since buying mine on ebay quite a few years ago.. I have the same cool Orange Sparkle wrap. Same baseball bat Snare throwoff. But my buttplate has an adjustable round knob similar to the throw off.

Internal shell is a dark wood maybe mahogony? With lighter wood reo rings.

I'll post a pic soon.

Cheersand thanks for posting.

Welcome to a time consuming addiction, drumgrrl!!! That snare you describe is likely made by Star, later to become TAMA. If you would start another thread, including pix, we could diagnose it. As far as the b/b muffler, Ludwig sued Star to stop them from copying theirs and they were only in production for a short time, no more than 2 model years.
