jazz festival

Loading...

Hi everyone,can anybody help,i am looking at buying a jazz festival snare to match my silver sparkle 1968 super classic.At present i have a newish black beauty which I'm happy with,but apart from wanting a matching snare from the 60s, i have always liked the tone and warmth that wood gives you.My question is how do i identify a jazz fest from other 60s wood shell snares.Many thanks for any help on this,Pete

It should have 8 lugs, and will be 5.5"x14". It should also have the P-83 strainer as well. And a really nice one is going to command around 350-600, give or take a hundred or three...Jazz Fest is a highly sought after snare, and very hard to bid on if going to the bay, as you will be sniped, so bid as high as you can possibly stand, and watch for the shills as well, there is lot of that happening now, along with the outright thieves and scammers, and the odd extortionist. And if you get buyers remorse, you always file a SNAD case, send a box of rocks, or a MIJ snare back and keep the real one, shipping and all, for free! Yeah for the bay\! making life fun for the scammers and thieves was never so much fun! But if you do use the bay, please follow the links from this site to conduct your business as Dave is partially funding the site with click pay from eBay. Good luck, and I hope you find what your lookin' for!

Sorry about that, don't know why I put the extra .5, was thinking about something else, my mistake. Been one of those mornings, it is snowing like mad in the south today...doing firewood and missed that little detail.

Thanks for that,i am presuming that they will be three ply shells.The reason I'm asking is their is a silver sparkle jazz fest on the bay at the mo.Buy it now at £450,in decent condition so it seems,do you think this is a fair price.As you have probably gathered I'm in the U.K.Great site and thanks for the help.Pete.
