Original Snare Drum |
|
This Snare Drum was made by D.C. Hall, who
started making drums in 1862, The Drum has the maker's name on it around the
tone hole. The Drum has the name of the musician who played it - Marvin H.
Lynn - and also the Band he was in - Iron Brigade Band - engraved on it
along with an Eagle. Mr. Lynn enlisted in the 7th Wisconsin in July of 1861,
and then re-enlisted in the 25th Michigan in September of 1862, which
became part of the Iron Brigade that year. Mr. Lynn served as a musician
until mustered out in June of 1865. The heads are 16" in diameter and
the Drum shell is 11 3/4" tall. The Drum shell is solid nickel silver,
the same material that D.C. Hall used for his horns. The Drum Shell, Drum
Rims, and top-head are original with the drum. The Drum was
professionally restored by Garman Bowers of Fairplay, MD. |
