Stunning, all original, Ludwig pre-serial chrome over brass Supra-Phonic 400 snare drum. This snare drum is in near mint condition. Aside from a few tiny surface scratches, there isn't a mark on this drum. All original parts including what appear to be the original heads top and bottom. The pre-serial badge, crimped snare beds, chrome over brass hoops, and drop snare gates in addition to the heavy weight of the shell confirm the pedigree of this solid bras shell snare drum. All of the btirhg and shiny parts work perfectly. The original owner of this drum must not have practiced much because it appears almost untouched. These drums are incredibly hard to find today and we have never seen a nicer example of this rare drum. These COB pre-serial drums have the legendary sound that everyone is looking for. It's a msust have snare drum for any high end early 1960's Ludwig collector.
