Taping up a card at thrift stores, even flea markets is something I have always thought about doing... evidently I should follow through on that!

Our rhythm guitar player is a big time thrift store, yard sale, flea market shopper and he is always sending me pictures of various percussion stuff with the "any good?" subject line. He often finds a guitar he wants. So far after many, many sightings... I have never seen anything I wanted. But... who knows??

I don't know anything about those engraved drums but I would guess they have never been a common thing even when they were new... it's hard to imagine someone wouldn't look at an instrument like that and not think that it is a rare and special item.
