Description

This vintage WFL Ludwig Mahogany 12 x 15 wood rope pull marching snare drum in very good original condition with only minor surface wear. The Mahogany finish is beautiful with only minor wear.  This has a mid to late 1940’s WFL badge in excellent condition.  The wood shell has “355” engraved on the inside, please see pictures. This drum has all of the leather pull tighteners still on the drum and is set up as a rope tension drum.  The heads on the drum are original calfskin heads in older used condition. The snare side head has a stamp that says WFL Drum Co. on it, however as it is on the inside not the outside we cannot read the rest.  The snare side head has multiple small tears along the outside edge of the hoop.  A couple of them have moved slightly more onto the head itself please see pictures.  Although the snare side head has some minor damage it still functions and plays well. No case and no stand are included.
