1970's Ludwig Field Drum, "Classic", maple/poplar shell, 12" x 15"

​

I finally collected all the necessary parts to complete this 1970’s marching snare.  The snare mechanism is the Classic type that extends either curly wires or synthetic gut cable across the bearing edges of the bottom head.  I installed the synthetic gut type cable, and I also have the standard curly wires as well.  This allows me to go from an orchestra field drum sound, to a marching/parade drum by just interchanging the snare wires.
