Thanks for all the valuable information submitted to this website. I was given a copper covered Martin era Fibes w/ 18" Kick, 12, 14" floor. To me the copper covering is not the most attractive of coverings and the badge on the floor tom is bent...was thinking of doing a new wrap. I was told old kits w/ 18's are considered somewhat rare, First, is this true? Second, will changing the wrap destroy it's value as a collectable, (it's present value or it's value down the road). The kit sounds great as is... I use it in my rehearsal room and don't gig on it. Thanks.
