SOLD / AUCTION CLOSED


This drum was hand made in N.Y.C. by the late Natalio Junior Tirado Ruiz.
The drum is 30-40 years old, made in late 1972 or in 1973 which is the year I got it.
This was bought for me by my late father who was also master drum and Chekere/Shekere maker.
Wood: Honduran Mahogany.
Head size: 11½ inches.

The bands have the look as if another coat of varnish/verithane was put on the drum without removing the bands. Is this the case? And if so, when would this have been done?

This is a pick up item only?
