Hi guys,
i would like to ask your help on identifying a wood Ludwig snare I purchased about seven years ago. I've tried my best to find some info on the web, but with no result so far.
brand: Ludwig
material: wood, not sure what kind
finish: lacquer
color: wine-red
lugs: 8
13"x5,5"
Keystone badge s/n3310375 Ludwig Drum Company Monroe NC,USA
What I'd like to know is;when was this snare made(I guess in the early 80's), what kind of wood is it and what's the value of this snare today. I bought it for about USD 75,= in 1999. The state the snare is in I'd describe as pretty good, it has no scratches or deep pitting- if the snare drum is restored I think it'll look as good as new.If you need more info please let me know and please excuse my English,I'm Dutch ;)
thanks in advance,
Olivier D' Drummer
