This arrived today - ebay purchase
I see there is a 4pt strainer on eBay right now but I really don't want to buy one from leecountry. If someone here has one and can do a little better than her/their price please let me know.
I don't know what kind of strainer is on the drum now but it's a two point attachment.
That's a Ludwig P-80 strainer....for a piccolo snare, also known as a Pioneer strainer (not the same as the Pioneer model snare drum). You'd be surprised as to what those fetch on Ebay......big $$!
Sorry, I don't have a Renown strainer for you, it took me the better part of a year to find one myself, as you may remember.
Yes - I do remember that. And I did pick one up for my Dixieland snare at a great price here.
Maybe someone would want to trade for my P-80.
I'm in no hurry for the strainer though. I can always take the strainer off the Dixieland for a while just to get this new drum set up.
I got this Marvel snare stand - I like the "button-type" feet, a nice music stand that works well and everything came in this pretty beat up case.
I like all this old stuff even if it is not valuable it's fun cleaning it up. It all goes in my grave when I die........Kidding.

Hey, I've got a case just like that, only not quite so beat up!
IF my memory serves me correctly, I bought it new in probably 1971 or 1972 at Midwestern Music in Topeka, Ks. It was a "no-name" case and was cheaper than the Ludwig case ("cheaper" was important to me at the time, being in HS). It carried my first Supra-phonic for several years, and later (and still) my Pearl Jupiter.

I took the drum apart and I didn't really notice until then that the batter is a not-so-bad calfhide. $2.50 back in the day it looks like. I may leave it as is or retuck it.
It looks like this is a "Dixieland" model. My drum is 3ply with a Copper lacquer finish. The Gretsch 54, 55 and 58 catalogs show this drum. In the 61 Catalog they have a Dixieland model but it's 6ply and they didn't offer (at least in the catalog) a copper finish.
I thought the P-84 and P-85 were the Pioneer Strainer ?
Looking to purchase a P-80 strainer for a 1965 Picalo snare!
also need 8 tension rods and holders.
Thanks
