What do you want to trade for it, I've got a very nice ludwig 1960 school festival blue sparkle it's in the gallery?? also the 60's 402's clean like yours $300.00 $400.00 range, and i have seen them go fo more if you have 2 bidders with deep pockets!

Thanks for the offer, but I don't want to trade it, it sounds too good.

It's funny, I have a 70's supra 402, but the 60's 402 sounds so much better with the same heads and snares. Must be in my mind.

do you know what year it is?

I wonder if it is brass, that may explain the lack of pitting...

The serial number is 304380, not sure what year it is.

Early 1966 according to the serial number dateline in the Drum Guide.

Thanks kevins, I never realized there was a serial number dateline here.

Wow, I thought this drum would be worth more than 300-400, I often see 60's supra 400 going for approx. 300 - 350 on ebay, thought this deep shelled one was a rare find.

She still sounds sweet !

Chrome on brass supras are much more valuable.

Simple search on ebay tells all: http://completed.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=supraphonic+6.5&_sacat=0&LH_Complete=1&_odkw=supraphonic&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

If it is brass and 6 and half, its worth a whole lot - check out the sticky on the top of the vintage drum forum page "is my supra brass"

I think 66 was too late for brass though, to my knowledge those stopped in the early 60's.

if you aren't wanting to sell it, i wouldn't worry about the market value, money is money - but a 6 and a half supra; now thats something special.
