I have this snare drum that has been lamenting in a case here in my basement for many years. It was the snare drum I first began playing in '71 or '72, my brother also took lessons on it in the late 60s when he was in elementary school. I think it may have even been used when my parents bought it, so it's at least 40 years old. The strainer has 'Japan' stamped on it and on one of the rims it also says 'made in Japan' There is a capital letter 'R' stamped into the other rim. The drum came with a light duty Beverley stand which I also still have. It's a 5 1/2 x14 wood shell, 6 lug, blue sparkle finish. No badge, no other markings anywhere I can see.
Duh on my part, didn't see the non-USA cat. Is there an Admin in the house?
