Restoration Details
Geo. Stone and his son, Geo. L. Stone, were builders, players and teachers in Boston, MA, in the early 1900’s. These snare drums were the pinnacle of their line, with a three-ply maple shell, 12 lugs per side, and an elegant throw off.
This snare came to the shop with a great history, but the original black lacquer finish was removed and replaced with a low quality urethane and the original nickel plated hardware was poorly lacquered in gold. The hardware was stripped and polished, and a new black lacquer finish was applied to the shell and counter hoops. This drum is ready for another 100 years.
