1976 Ludwig Piccolo 13x3" Ludalloy Snare
These little gems are rarely seen, and are worth snatching one when they're around as they're a top snare for your arsenal.
The shell is the same ludalloy material as the 400 Supraphonics that everyone knows and loves so dearly. Similarly to the 400, this snare has so much body and crack, and a tasteful amount of ring. Again, similarly to the Supraphonics, they are prone to pitting, and this has a little bit of pitting on the shell, but not on the bearing edges so it's nothing to worry about.
Freshly cleaned and polished in my workshop. Fitted with brand new Remo Ambassador heads and Puresound Custom Pro wires.
Modern replacement hoops and strainer to upgrade the practically of the drum. Some tension rods and inserts aren't matching, but they are all the same length so no dramas.
