Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me with this one. I bought a ludwig 1020's era universal snare that is painted black on the shell and rims. Could this be from the factory - origional? or was it painted after. If someone could help me I would appriciate it. Thanks!
Added note: Under the black paint appears to be niclke plating. The inside of the drum is black as well.
Yes, they were Ludwig's "Inspirational" models which came with black nickle shells...
Hi, Thankyou for your response regarding the post "Ludwig 1920'2 universal snare black paint?". I just wanted to make sure that I was clear in my discription that I posted. The drum I have appears to be nickle plated underneath from the areas that the paint peeled. But is clearly a form of either enamel or lacuer paint on top. The black is not plated, though looks like a factory finish and is black on the inside. Would this still be the inspirational model? Thanks,for your help. Regards,Mike
Yes, the student models such as yours was just black paint..
Thankyou very much for your help. I appriciate it. PS: Do you think it may be worth more in black?
A bit, but not that much..
Thankyou for all your help.
