This is the adjustable version of the muffler with the extra pressure adjustment thumb screw that allows the player to set the pressure level of the muffler against the head. every outfit from this period had one of these mufflers on the bass drum. The nickel plating on this muffler is in perfect, "show quality" condition. This is a must have acessory for any 1950's or 1960's Ludwig outfit.
