That emotion is dwindling. The memory of the communist experiment is both political and personal and the personal slowly takes over . The reality is that people made the instruments not the political philosophy or those who implemented it, I have seen the pictures of the Trommelfabrik plant before and is part of that not the original Sonor factory?

It would be hard not to believe that at some point , the heritage value of those buildings , will become apparent and a German drum museum would be built , right there, encompassing everyones efforts and skills, notwithstanding their nationality.

Pictures of the deri drum are on ebay under rare snare drums. it is the only deri drum on the site and i think it is the only deri snare drum anywhere. I cannot put the pictures on this site because they are too big or need re-sized and i don't know how to re-size them. So if you are interested in seeing the drum it is on ebay.
