Hi, this is my first post, I recently acquired an early 1920's 10 lug maple snare drum. The drum needs refinishing. The question I have is on the shell finish, the drum was originally black (under badge). There is also the word "black" stenciled on the inside of the shell which is covered with a thin black wash. The shell at one point was sanded and repainted unprofessionally in a white coat. I know it is best to leave vintage drums alone but I would really like to get this drum back to its original black color. Would I be depreciating the value of the drum by doing this? Thanks for any advice you can give me. RIDrummer
