Product Information
Based on the serial number, this Ludwig 404 is presumed to be a mid-to-late 1970s model, a classic and highly regarded aluminum snare drum.
With nearly 50 years of history, its seamless aluminum shell produces a dry sustain and a mild, midrange-focused tone that creates a unique presence.
The 70s models have thinner hoops and a slightly milder tone than current models, making them a popular and easy-to-use generation.
This particular drum appears to have original main parts (hoops and snare wires), and while there are some scratches and dirt commensurate with its age, tuning and the inner mute/strainer function without problems.
Although the snare wires and head have been replaced with current parts, the sound quality is still excellent!
This vintage snare drum is still perfectly usable.
Size: 14x5
Shell: Aluminum
Hoop/Tension: 8-tension press hoop
Serial Number: 1587580
■Product Rank: B+: Some scratches, but no problems for normal use
■Used Warranty: None
☆Important Notice Regarding Import Duties☆
Due to the elimination of the De Minimis Rule, all goods imported into the United States are now subject to customs duties. As a result, shipments to the U.S. will be handled under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), meaning the seller will cover the import duties.
This change allows U.S. buyers to avoid additional customs charges and delays related to clearance procedures, making your purchase more secure and worry-free.
For countries outside the United States, import duties and taxes remain the responsibility of the buyer, as before.
