Maybe your problems had something to do with the Italian customs regulations that prohibit import of "bells, musical instruments, or parts thereof"? They have no such regulation restricting exports, though.
Oh yes dealing with Customs is a problem when sending things..What that said i would not bid on the stand it could be as bad as sending things to the U.S....Mikey
trixon also had a double hihat.i can't find a pic to post.but it looks cool and I'd love to find one.a single pedal and tube into a u shaped tube with different heights for the cymbals
I had a chance to buy one 20+ years ago for $125......
sure the F wish I would have! RARE,RARE,RARE!
Hey Kev, Don't know if it will break 1,500.00 maybe 600.00 the problem is the seller is in Italy post office is not that good when i use to ship to Italy that's why i don't ship to Italy anymore...You could run into the same problems on getting the part?...By the way for the guys who live on the west coast does anyone re-call Drum City in Hollywood Roy had 4 of these stands i got the one i have for 100.00 20 years ago...Mikey
Hey Mikey, I remember Drum City in Hollywood. My Dad and I went there in maybe 1968. It was on Santa Monica Blvd. east of Vine. I remember it being run by a guy named Pop. An older dude who wore a white dentist like smock.
Bought a used Speed King pedal there.
Good one Mikey

This is pretty cool.
Why hasn`t anyone re-made this classic and updated it? It seems like the kind of niche that would sell. Get the right drummers` endorsing it and I bet they`d turn some units on these.

Got my first "kit" at Drum City in the late-1950s! My dad took me there...not sure how he knew about it. Bought used, non-matching stuff, but it all worked good. I used it through high school and until 1963 when I got the Ludwig Hollywood kit I still have.

Right On Dude, Dad's and Drum City, what a combo.
Wish they were both still here. My Dad probably asked one of his drummer English students where to go for drums. Probably my first drum teacher Bob Lipre. One other note. I have an 18-inch Blaemire snare shell previously owned by Andy Florio. Andy's Blaemire shells are now in the kits of Mendozart and Drumjinx. Thanks Andy

He even had his own label "Hollywood Records"..They use to record in the drum shop back in the day...Cool Jazz/Blues players...Drum city was soo cool to hang out at...Mikey
