Unidentified MIJ 60's snare, orange sparkle

Posts: 358 Threads: 90

This snare had just a bit of the original badge remaining under the port grommet, but not enough to read unfortunately.

It's lightweight and made of cheap wood with reinforcing rings. Appears to be all original.

I had to cut snare beds in the bottom, it literally had no snare bed cutouts at all, not even a sliver. It sounds ok, but the strainer is a pain in the butt, though it looks really cool! Took me forever to get the wires in a usable position.

Anyone know which company might have made this? I'm guessing Pearl right now.

'61 Slingerland Bop Kit Sea Green Rewrap

Here's a 60's Apollo snare to compare... several similarities.
