Tel: (316) 684-0291; FAX (316) 684-6858A set of FOUR Ludwig "Professional Symphonic" Copper timpani, late sixties / early to mid seventies.Please see photo of Ludwig's 1967 catalog, "WFL" on the pedals. Struts on the timps shown in the catalog are a perfect match for the struts on our timps.
No major dents or damage, but we're in the process of balling out dents and dings.  Should be ready to ship on or before March 30.ALL FOUR  wear new "Ludwig standard tuning gauges".LUDWIG MODEL LKP-504P "Professional Series" timps are still in production at Ludwig.  They're close to the same as our set, but with extended rims. Our set does NOT have extended rims. New "Professional Series" Ludwig timps have suspended bowl construction. Our set does not have this feature, which was not available in the early seventies.Retail price on this set (with standard tuning gauges), is now $19,934. That means a school bid price on a new set would be somewhere between eleven and twelve thousand dollars.New Ludwig heads also.But why buy a new set?  Our set of four is in good playing condition and the price is MUCH lower!Low BIN price....less than half what a new set would cost.Free delivery maybe possible within 250 miles of Wichita.  Other options are available.  Do phone us at 800-835-3006 for more information. And look for more EBay postings soon!Please note that all parts are original and in good condition. ************************************************************************************************************************************Wichita Band Instrument Company is a small musical instrument emporium located in the center of the USA. We’ve been in business since 1953 and have had the same owner since 1963. Originally we were a repair shop that specialized in woodwind and sax restoration. Today we have 18 employees including eight of the finest repair technicians in the country. Virtually ALL the items we sell have been fully reconditioned in our own shop, although we do sell the occasional unrestored historical instruments each year. Wichita Band’s service warranty is the same as it’s been for more than thirty years: "ALL new and all used instruments sold by Wichita Band Instrument Company come with our 24 month service warranty. It’s in addition to any factory guarantees. For two full years, we will repair or replace - whichever in our estimation is the more advisable - pads, corks, springs or other parts required, at no charge to the customer. In the event of cracked or damaged wood sections, we will repair at no cost to the customer or replace the section and charge the customer only for our net costs for the replacement section. Often, wood replacement parts are supplied from the manufacturer at no charge. The customer is responsible for shipping and insurance charges. Cases and plating finishes are not covered by our service warranty but are sometimes covered by factory guarantees." Wichita Band Instrument Company maintains a repair department capable of restoration work of the highest quality. Even though repairs are essentially "free" for the first two years, after that period has expired, we remain at your service to maintain and repair your musical equipment forever. It’s our "service after the sale" promise and has been since 1953! In the event that a customer requires service under factory guarantees or Wichita Band’s service warranty, the item must be returned to us and not directly to the manufacturer.
