USED GRETSCH / 60s #4157 Name Band 14x5.5 Silver Sparkle 1960s Gretsch Snare Drum [08]

This is a "Name Band" model from the 1960s.

This is a 4157 "Name Band" model with a round badge, manufactured in the 1960s.
With a 14x5-inch, 6-ply jasper shell, a silver interior, and an original 8-tension die-cast hoop, this snare delivers a moderately punchy and tight yet soft and mellow sound.
making it a quintessential 1960s snare drum that truly embodies the "That's Gretsch!" spirit.
The snare head has likely been replaced, but it is a silver sparkle snare head.

While there are some scratches and pitting on the parts due to age, there is no noticeable damage.
However, the snare wire retaining screw for the micro-sensitive switch has been replaced.
The snare wire has also been replaced with a Kanopus model.

Otherwise, the shell itself is in good condition with no issues and sounds great.
While it isn’t a perfectly original instrument, it is a vintage Gretsch that is more than functional.

The finish has been refinished.
