Hello everybody,

I own an old Yamaha drumset, series YD-265 or YD-285 produced beetween 1970-1973. At the time Yamaha, had only one series and

from that series, the recording custom was built. That's what I was told

from the Yamaha customer support centre. I was also told that it's the

oldest Yamaha drumset they've seen so far in Europe!!

ll the serial numbers on the serial number plates range beetween 0800

and 0900 so i guess that the production scope was really small back

then, or the drums were manufactured really early in the line. The shells are mixed mahagony and birch, and wallnut finish. Snare is 14X5.5'', Bass drum is 20x16'', tom-toms are 12 and 13'', and floor tom is 14''. The only minus are the tom holders which were pretty lousy back then, comparing to the new yamaha system.

So anyhow, can anyone tell me a fair price, of how much you

think it is worth...

Thank you
