13x9" Tromsa TT to snaredrum conversion.
Tromsa (Trommelfabrik Sattler) was a drum company in Rüsselsheim-Königstädten and produced until the 1980s.
This shell has the typical reinforcement stripe and rings plus the bend metal lugs with a nut in it. The original colour was a red glitter, but overpainted by a previous owner.
We closed the TT arm bracket, put a walnut veneer, and drilled for 8 lugs instead of 6 lugs per side. Snarebed, strainer and buttend added.
It has metric drumheads - Tromsa had their own drumhead series "RKB" - similar to ours. But they used polyester glue (not only crimped heads like our STABIL ones).
