1960's vintage Ludwig 16
$400

10x16.
3 ply shell with reinforcement hoops -- white interior.
16 lugs.
Keystone badge [serial # 249396] - estimate date of manufacture is 1965.
Baseball bat muffler -- white felt.

All original and never played -- there are no stick marks on the heads.
No tom mounts or holes of any kind -- the drum is a virgin.
This came out of a parochial school storage room and is in surprisingly good condition -- it appeared to have been stored there for decades and never used. Most likely this drum was intended to be a tenor tom for marching and I assume it wasn't used because the drum is too large for children.

The muffler handle has a wear mark (photo) and there is a mar on one panel (photo), I assume it can be removed -- otherwise the finish is flawless.
A few lugs have very slight pitting (not significant enough to capture with photo). The hoops and tension rods/washers are excellent.

More photos are available (approximately 28 photos).
Please feel free to contact me email or phone (however, my phone cannot receive texts).
I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA (near Chicago).

Just a parade drum?
This drum was manufactured as a tenor parade drum 1964 but someone with talent and imagination can use it for a mounted tom. In the past I used 15" or 16" tenor drums for just such a purpose -- I would use them with a 14" mounted tom, 18" floor tom and 24" BD - the sound was huge.
Why do you think John Bonham used a mounted 12x15 parade drum?
