Hello , i was surfing the web trying to identify and valuate a Gretsch snare drum i recently purchased ; when i came across your slingerland snare on the Gallery page of the forum. I am a little curious and confused at the same time . Perhaps you can help me ? the dimentions of my snare are 6 1/2 X 14 --- 8 lugs renown Strainer /standard butt all the characteristics of the 46 cherry stain except the color and the inside is curly maple.

What is the question? The model of the drum or if it is a Gretsch?

David

anyone know the approximate year this gretsch snare might have been made and its value ?

So it is not painted on the inside? and natural wood?

Do you have the drum and know the # of plys?

David

its not painted on the inside its natural curly maple and i'm not sure about the ply i would one but i could be wrong heres the picture of the rim.

I see three ply's....

Step back and take a photo of the entire bottom of the drum and try not to zoom in so close...
