Leedy Broadway Parallel Snare

Posts: 32 Threads: 4

Hi Gents. Please excuse my absence. I might have a chance to buy this snare and was wondering what I should pay and what the shortcomings might be?

Looks like it needs a cleaning and I haven't been able to establish if this is the original finish. Are these anything to get excited about? I think it's 30's but not sure. Looking to replace a WFL that I sold and perhaps this will fit the bill.

Thanks in advance.

There are extra holes around the strainer...That will lower the value...

Cheers

Thanks for pointing that out. Didn't even notice.

Those aren't spare holes - they're screws that go into the the shell to hold the interior mechanism in place

it's also important to determine if its a single or 3-ply drum. Most drums with outer mahogany plies are 3-ply

Excellent point, thanks. The single ply will be more I'll assume. I was thinking 3-4 hundred but I've never owned an all original 30's Leedy. It could be more. It need some work. We'll see.
