1960s Ludwig Symphonic Snare

Posts: 4 Threads: 1

Hi,

I'm a guitar player so have no knowledge of these things and am hoping someone can help.

We recently acquired a 1960s (61-63) Ludwig Symphonic Snare, 14 x 6.5, in White Marine Pearl finished with Ludwig Resacote with a stand and case of the same age. Apart from needing a new top skin, this drum is immaculate. There are no knocks, blemishes or fading and it is in practically new condition. You can find an example here:

This will be up for sale. Does anyone know what sort of price we should be asking?

Thanks in advance.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]The catalog cuts are OK...but it would be more helpful if you could post a picture of the actual drum...inside and out, maybe a few closeups, too.[/COLOR]

This drum should do well in the current economy. I would say in the $300 - $450 range if it is in the condition you state and we are talking about the same drum.

A photo as stated is the best way for us to determine it is exactly that.

Thanks

Thanks very much. I don't have the drum in my house but I'll get some pictures and post them up asap.

Thanks again.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Holy crapMind Blowi.....what a drum !

Looks like original wires, muffler, throwoff, etc...cannot tell if hoops are original....

At very least $300...actually, if the stand and case would be included, likely $400 + . On eFlay it might fetch over $400 if it gets into a bid war. A vintage shop would price it at around $500, probably.

...man, the condition looks CHERRY !!!!![/COLOR]

I'd be interested to hear any more thoughts on how much this might be worth?

Thanks..

I would guess 400-600. It's really clean!
