Gretsch Broadkaster 6.5" x 14" 8-Lug Snare

Like new, minus the $745.00 price tag!  We sold this drum new to a customer who bought two differently sized Broadkaster snares, intending to keep one.  He preferred the sensitivity of the 5" x 14" drum, so here's the 6.5" x 14" for sale barely used.  I'd be surprised if it's been played for more than an hour.  Our customer prefers Aquarian heads, so the factory Permatones are virtually untouched.

This drum is 6.5" (depth) x 14" (diameter).  It features 8 lugs, 302 hoops, and the Lightning throwoff and butt plate.  The finish is Silver Glass Nitron.

Final sale.

Here's what Gretsch says about this model: 

"From the 1920s through the 1950s, the Gretsch flagship drum set was the legendary Broadkaster Series.  It featured a thin, three-ply shell and produced what was to be, “That Great Gretsch Sound.”  Today, in the Gretsch Drum Factory in Ridgeland, South Carolina, USA, with the help of advanced drum-making techniques, the Broadkaster has returned, bringing with it all of sonic brilliance of its namesake.

"Broadkaster shells are made with a North American maple/poplar/maple formula.  Each shell includes an interior-ply scarf joint that supplies added structural integrity to thin, musical shells.  Like all USA-made Gretsch drums, shell interiors are finished with classic Gretsch Silver Sealer.  The shell is hand finished with the exclusive reverse roundover bearing edge, which allows greater surface contact between the bearing edge and drumhead.  The result is tone that is incredibly deep and warm.
