USED LUDWIG & LUDWIG / 1930-40s No.28 Standard Snare Drum 14x6.5 Snare Drum [08]

This is a wood snare from the LUDWIG & LUDWIG period of the 1930s-40s.
The year cannot be determined, but it is presumed that it was made in 1938, as it is stamped 3812 inside.
From the specifications, this snare seems to be a "standard" model, which would have been the standard model of wood snare at that time.

The shell is thought to be maple because of the mahogany inner and black outer paint, and the center ply is thought to be poplar. It comes with a maple reinforcement.
The hoops are also original double flange hoops with 8 tension and made of brass.
The parts are nickel plated and the lugs are imperial lugs.

The sound is bright, soft, and mild, with no volume, but the shape of the hoop and the tightness and cohesiveness of the snare stand out.

The sound is bright, soft, and mild, but not voluminous, and the hoop shape is tight and cohesive.
The paint on the shell is a little peeling, but considering the age of the instrument, this is not a problem.

There is some rust on the bolt, and a few of the bolts are slightly bent, but they are original and the parts are slightly dulled.
However, the shell itself has no problems and the sound is excellent. The sound is excellent and very full. This is a very rare snare drum!
