Vtg Rope Tension Side Marching Band Parade Field Training Snare Drum + Coat Arms
This listing is for a vintage marching snare drum. The age and maker are unknown. The design features a variation of the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom with the words "H__ [Honi].Soit.Qui.Mal.Y.Pense." and "Dieu.Et.Mon.Droit." The first passage translates roughly as "Shame be to him who thinks evil of it." The second passage roughly means "God and My Right." The drum appears to be a brass shell with wooden hoops and ropes on the side for tension. The heads appear to be calfskin and there is one snare on the bottom made up of eight strands of gut. The drum sounds great with a big, booming tone. It has scuffs and wear from use including, but not limited to, some oxidation of the metal and some spots of paint loss on top. This listing has no reserve price so don't miss your chance to win!
