Leedy-Ludwig? Last viewed: 2 hours ago

Posts: 45 Threads: 23

Hi there

This is posted on Toronto Kijiji advertised as a Leedy/Ludwig 7x14 Mahogany snare. Has Imperial lugs which I'm not sure are appropriate?

Asking $300 for snare, including an 11x14 Tom

Any info on this, and if it's a good deal would be appreciated

Cheers, Phil

If I'm not mistaken, this is an early 50's L&L Reliance drum. Really nice condition too.

Scroll down to 1953 in the link:

Great deal! I'd jump at it. They sound awesome.

Looks correct to me. I have an original Leedy-Ludwig snare with Imperial lugs and the same throw-off.
