Hi, I've gotten hold of a nice, old Ludwig wooden snare drum. It looks exactly like a Jazz Festival only the depth is 6.5". The inside of the drum is painted white and it's dated around 1967. It has the bow-tie lugs (8 of them) COS hoops and has a natural finish (no wrap) The wood is stained a sort of wine / burgundy colour. Keystone badge. I've no pics at the moment so you're going to have to try to imagine it. :)
Can anybody tell what model this could be? Help2
if its an 8 lug with a p83 strainer, then its an auditorium which is essentially a 6.5 depth jazz festival.

here's a pic from the 67 catalog. also, here's a pic of mine that's a pre serial model in duco.

That was a guess without looking. Mike`s right.

Mike, you're right. This is my drum for sure. Thanks for the info. And now the burning question - What is the value of a drum like this in today's money? I can't seem to find a lot of information about these Auditorium snares and I am wondering if they're sought after like the Jazz Festival?
Are these drums sought after much? They seem rare.
