For your prime consideration is this extremely rare Liberty 5×14 solid walnut snare drum in stunning Sea Green Pearl, our personal favorite finish.This drum was meticulously restored by the expert hands of the esteemed Mr. Joey “Boom” Mekler. Liberty Musical Instrument Co. was an amazing short lived venture between 1926 and 1927. In a fated move, the factory and machinery was sold to Slingerland, allowing them to become the name they are today in the drum world, so you can note all the similarities. This snare bears the markings of a late 20s Slingerland, including the stunning solid 1-ply walnut shell with maple rings. The iconic Sea Green Pearl wrap is in beautiful condition and the drum boasts heavily plated nickel fittings with ten separate tension rods. There is a number engraved in the top hoop as shown in last pic. The strainer is original and fully functional with a period spec replacement lever arm. A sleeker looking period-correct Leedy tone control was installed in place of an older Slingerland model. More evidence of the Slingerland pedigree are found in the holes in the top bearing edge where a patented Tone Flange was originally installed in Slingerland’s attempt to “eliminate the ring and overtones which drummers have worried about for years”. The broad edge gives this snare a deep, fat tone that speaks beautifully, with a voice only a Liberty/Slingerland of this size and vintage can. A truly awe-inspiring piece of drum history that would be right at home amongst the finest of collections, studios, or stages. Enjoy! Reviews There are no reviews yet.

With proper care, your pearl jewelry will maintain its beauty for generations. Follow these simple guidelines to keep your pearls lustrous and elegant.

Daily Care

  • Put pearls on last when dressing - after makeup, perfume, and hairspray
  • Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth after each wearing to remove body oils
  • Avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays
  • Remove pearls before swimming, showering, or exercising
  • Don't wear pearls while applying makeup or styling hair

Storage

  • Store separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching
  • Use the soft pouch provided with your purchase
  • Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources
  • Avoid plastic bags - pearls need to breathe
  • Store flat for necklaces to prevent stretching
  • Keep in a cool, dry place with some humidity

Cleaning

  • Use only a soft, damp cloth - microfiber or cotton
  • Never use ultrasonic cleaners or steam cleaners
  • Avoid harsh chemicals, detergents, and abrasive cleaners
  • Don't soak pearls in water or cleaning solutions
  • Let air dry completely before storing

Pro Tip

Wearing your pearls regularly actually helps maintain their luster! The natural oils from your skin keep pearls hydrated and beautiful.

Things to Avoid

  • Chlorine (swimming pools) - damages pearl luster
  • Salt water - can dry out and damage pearls
  • Vinegar, lemon juice, or other acids
  • Hair spray and perfume - contains alcohol and chemicals
  • Excessive heat and direct sunlight
  • Storing in a safe deposit box for long periods (too dry)
