1961 Trixon Luxus

Posts: 904 Threads: 127

Thought I would share my yellow/gold sparkle Trixon.

The shells are date stamped inside 61.

It also has the rare snare drum with it...

You can see in the last picture it still has the Original Paramount Logo on the bass drum that Ivor Arbiter’s father Joe opened (he named it Paramount after Paramount Court where they lived!) and then Drum City opened on Shatesbury Avenue and the rest is history...

Three separate shops. 1, Paramount then 2, Drum City then 3, Sound City

So happy to have this in the ever growing Trixon/Vox collection...
