This is an old yard sale find from about 30 years back. The tag on the head stock reads Ludwig Music CO, St. Louis MO. It has a home made tail piece on it and the bridge is home made and needs replaced. The drum is in decent shape, it is an aluminum and the skin shows some shrinkage and could stand replacing.

Ludwig is still in the music business in Mo. under the name Ludwig Aeolian Pianos
