Ludwig Ludaloy sticker

Posts: 170 Threads: 107

Hello everyone,

I have a ludwig bought a ludwig snare, but I don't know if it is an LM or an LB402.

There is a sticker inside the snare drum with "Ludaloy" on it.

What does Ludaloy mean?

yes. Ludalloy is the marketing name for the aluminum shells.

Yes, agreed..."ludalloy" is the marketing name for aluminum shell....this makes it the LM402 (if it a 6 1/2" deep shell that is)

I thought that was for the coating or something. Makes more sense it's material. Thanks for the learning.

I had a '79-ish 6 1/2" B/O with the same round sticker. So that would make it an LM402, as well? See pic. It has SN# 2203230; maybe one of you have it now and use it.

Not to hijack, but what strainer is pictured here?

Thanks.
