What type of snare is this?

Posts: 106 Threads: 16

Hey folks. I listed this in the vintage drum section because of the ludwig strainer, but it looks more like it might be a pearl stencil snare. Any ideas of make or year?

I wish I knew. Going to look at it later today. I have no other info on it, and the person listed it as a ludwig drum, so I doubt they know much about it either.

I think it is an MIJ product, but nothing special.

So if it is a jupiter, it definitely is not in super condition. What kind of a value would you put on it?

Pretty hard to tell from those fuzzy pics.It's in non original condition,but those snares aren't really collectable anyway.Definately under 100,I'd say more like 75-80 bucks US.They're a really solid ,and can be a great sounding work horse of a snare,and a bargian for a COB shell.
