Hi Phil,
and first of all welcome to this forum.
You mention the head sizes to be 10 and 11". These have usually been the standard sizes for the cheaper editions
of many brand names like Meinl, Afro, Cosmic percussion and the like.
It is striking though and quite unusual that the shells are 30" high.
So in order to find out more, some pics would be useful. Let´s play some Sherlock Holmes here.
What would be good to know is:
1. Do the shells consist of two wood colors? Meinl had some of those on the late 1970s if I´m not wrong.
2. Do your Meinls have chrome or blac powdercoated tuning rims?
3. Are there any "feet" attached to the bottom of the shell (or holes left, respectively)
