Ludwig seamless bronze 75th Anniversary Supersensitive snare drum 14 x 6 1/2-Chicago-'84-#23 - rare
Description : 24 Jul, 2023
Rare and collectable snare drum from Ludwig. A machine engraved 75th Anniversary snare drum with a polished bronze spun and seamless shell. This is part of a very Limited Edition, originally only 75 drums were to be made, but it's probable that about 100 were produced.
This example is the more rare model with Imperial lugs, when most have the double ended Classic lugs. Drum is number 23
P-70 parallel action strainer with triple-flanged hoops..
There is some tarnishing under the clear-cote lacquer finish. A couple of dings in the shell close to the badge panels.
It would be quite simple to strip the clear-cote, polish and remove dings and clear-cote again for that as new look.
The Supersensitive is probably the best snare drum Ludwig ever designed.
