1962 Vintage Ludiwg Snare Help Last viewed: 1 day ago

Loading...

Hi guys and gals,

I joined this forum because I want some information about this Ludwig snare drum I bought at a garage sale. I bought it from a neighbor who bought it in 1962 with a whole set, but when he left for college he sold the toms and the kick drum, but kept the snare. I`ve been doing research since I bought it, but it`s hard to find any info on it b/c it was made before Ludwig put serial numbers on their drums. The guy told me all of the parts are original. Anyways I was wondering how much you guys think it`s worth and what type of snare it is. I`ll attach some pics for you guys to look at

Thanks,

Ross

PS I`m 14 and bought it for $75 and I think it`s a cool little piece to have, even if it isn`t worth that much now.

Wow you did good. $75.00 wow your neighbor must really like you. If I were see that on e-bay or craigslist I would be willing to pay over $200.00 if it has 8 lugs if 6 lugs $200.00 or lower. That's a great wrap on the drum I would probably pay more if it was pay day and I got a bonus check from work.

nice drum. the 6 lugs make it a pioneer. it appears to be all original. the wrap looks amazing on it. original heads,wires. pre serial badge and red felt muffler. probably a 62 or 63 drum. i would hang on to that one. 150-250 ballpark. the right buyer would pay more for that condition.

duh-i just reread your post and saw where he bought it in 62....
