Apr 2 1969 Ludwig Acrolite 14x5" (#686876)
Keystone badge, serial number: 686876.
Date stamped: Apr 2 1969
A drum that requires no introduction.
All original hardware including the 1st generation P85 strainer with black face/12 hole body, internal dampener, butt end, tension rods and hoops.
This is a lovely example of a wonderful drum, with only very minor aging, scratching and scuffs. See photos for condition.
These 60s model Acrolites are proving more and more difficult to come by, especially in this condition.
Stripped, cleaned and polished in my workshop April 2026.
Fitted with brand new Remo Vintage Ambassador Coated and Ambassador snare side heads, with brand new Puresound Custom Pro Steel wires.
