This is one of my favorite snare drums and I'd like to bring it back with a finish that is as close to original as possible. There are 2 stamps inside...2540 and below stamp that is a smaller 4004
I think it was probably a painted/lacquered drum as there isn't much space between the shell and the drumhead collar?? I also really love the sound of the drum and don't want to alter it at all.
What would you all recommend? I was thinking Black/Gold Duco. Who does this kind of work and what does it typically cost to have done? What sorts of finishes were available at the time of construction?
Thanks guys.
