Hello, I am from Germany. And I never heard of that brand ...

Perhaps this contact can be of help for you:

If you need assistance as it is a German website, let me know.

Nice drum. It appears to be similar to a Leedy Broadway as far as the throwoff goes. The lugs and rims look extremely well-made and heavy. That's the first Swiss snare drum I've ever seen! Thanks for sharing!Burger Kin I would LOVE to see the interior!

[COLOR="DarkRed"]I agree. From the hoops and hardware, it's no cheapie.

I have also never seen nor heard of such a maker.

More pius, please ![/COLOR]

It's also intriguing because it appears to be a 6-lug drum. Most of the time, the six-luggers were considered somewhat "student" level drums (whatever that means!). But, by NO means is that drum a student level drum! Those heavy die-cast rims and the complex throwoff and those incredibly muscular tube lugs -wow! PLEASE post more pictures including interior shots. That's a VERY cool drum! I like it a LOT!

A Guy I met recently in London who is a drum Guru found this.

Here you go.

Only bummer is that both top and bottom heads are ripped. Anyone know where to get some heads 14.5" in diameter.
