USED LUDWIG / 1968 School Festival Model White Marine Pearl 14x6.5 60's Snare Drum [08]

It is a 6.5" version of the famous so-called "Jazz Festival" of the 60's.
This is a School Festival model, serial 565364, made in 1968 from the inner date stamp.

3-ply mahogany/poplar/maple shell with maple reinforcements.
The shell specs are typical of the later Radik 60's.
It has an impression of a powerful sound with a fuller low range and more tightness and depth than the Jazzfest, probably due to the 8-tension separate lugs.
This is the perfect spec for those who are looking for a vintage drum with more core sound.

The parts are original white marine pearl covering, although the bolts and hoops do not seem to be original.
Also, the snappy and head are recent.
There is an extra hole near the switch (not sure what it is).

There are some scratches on the surface and the covering is burnt, but there is no noticeable damage to the shell and the sound is good. It has a tight sound that is clearly different from Jazzfest.
Although there are some signs of use, it is still in good condition for a vintage instrument.
