1965 Ludwig 'Jazz Festival' 14x5" in Blue & Silver Duco
Serial number #203943 - dating it to 1965.
Legendary 3-ply maple/poplar/maple shell with maple rerings and coated white interior.
Original nickel over brass hardware including P83 strainer, internal baseball bat dampener with white felt, butt end, NOB hoops, butt end and tension rods.
Original blue & silver lacquer.
What a delight this is! It’s really a great example with shiny nickel hardware and a characterful shell with just a perfect amount of flaking and chipped paint, mostly around the hardware and where the heads have made contact.
This is a totally classic snare with its history proudly showing.
Please see photos for condition.
Stripped, cleaned and polished in my workshop.
Fitted with lightly used Remo Vintage Ambassador and Ambassador snare side heads, with Puresound Custom Pro Steel wires.
