Vintage Leedy Broadway Dual Snare Drum

This Vintage Leedy Broadway Dual snare drum is in remarkable shape and everything functions.  All original Leedy except the heads and we do have the original cracked calf skin batter head.  The white lacquer finish is chipped in places and there is some oxidation and rust on the hardware.  The Leedy Broadway Dual Snare Drum is extremely rare. 

The new Broadway line of snare drums offered a revolutionary and radical departure in snare strainer design. The Broadway Parallel strainer was a somewhat complicated one that allowed constant tension of the wires even when disengaged. A long rod connected both strainers which allowed the parallel action. The information below is from the 1930 Leedy catalog.

"Leedy offered three new Broadway models. The Broadway Dual, (which had a second set of snares just under the top head), The Broadway Parallel and The Broadway Standard. The Broadway Standard strainer was really just an updated version of the Speedway strainer and incorporated an additional two mounting screws for extra stability."
