I have a very nicely done rope tension drum lanyard and several leather rope drum tensioners for sale. This is what's left from the Ludwig & Ludwig VFW snare project I'm working on. Someone fitted a decorative rope tension system to the drum over the rod tension setup. No idea why they did this, but I'm restoring the drum so have no use for this stuff.

Make me an offer if interested. Trades considered too.....I could use some gut snares or wire-silk wound snares for the project.....a leather snare butt....or 15" calfskin heads, especially a snare side head.....
