Piccolo made from leftovers.

A 14 x 4 snare drum from left over parts. The ultra rare lugs (I’ve never seen them anywhere before) I snagged from a “Sweet Percussion” NOB snare drum that had European sizes and which shell was in an unusable state. The strainer/butt-plate/muffler are from the same drum. The hoops are from an old Dutch “Royal” marching drum. The luan shell is cut from a 14 x 12 Pearl marching snare. Veneered with mahogony and simply coated with satin laquer.
