USED LUDWIG / Early 60s No.411 14x6.5 Super Sensitive C.O.B with hard case [08]

This is a very rare, pre-serial, early 1960s LM411, chrome overbrass super-sensitive snare.
It comes with a red felt baseball bat type inner mute, probably from 1961-62.

The shell is chrome over brass, so called COB.
The fat sound of COB is the most distinctive feature of this instrument, and it is a full-fledged version of 402.
The hoop is made of the original brass on both the top and bottom.
The snappy is PURESOUND and the head has been replaced with REMO, but all other parts seem to be original.

The bass sound is superb, with a little tightness that is typical of super-sensitivity and fatness that is typical of deep-bodied COB shells.
The sound is open and not clogged up, and you can enjoy a fatter sound when rimmed.
This is the RADIC sound! It has a very bright sound, with a good volume, and the sound is excellent.

The snare is over 60 years old, so there are some minor pits, but considering the age of the snare, it is very clean and in near mint condition.
There are no dents in the shell, and no damage that can be felt, so you can use this snare with confidence.
