WICHITA BAND INSTRUMENT COMPANY
2525 East Douglas Avenue
Wichita, KS 67211
Tel: (316) 684-0291; FAX (316) 684-6858A set of FOUR Ludwig "Universal" fiberglass timps, all with new rim-mounted tuning gauges.The 23 inch timp is an older drum, fresh paint, new head, new tuning gauge. From the seventies, I think.26 and 29 inch timps are a bit newer, probably from the early / mid 1990's. Extended collar, new tuing gauges, not beat to death!32 inch timp is new....maybe three months old.  Three of the above were trade-ins from a church that recently bought a set of four copper instruments from us.  We've added the 23 (not a perfect match, but close) to make a proper set of four.LUDWIG'S suggested retail price for the four (with tuning gauges) is now  $11,243. That means a school bid price on a new set would be about six and a half thousand bucks.But why buy a new set?  Our set isn't new, but are mechanically perfect, wear new Ludwig heads and they even look good!Low BIN price....about 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.   Except for the new tuning gauges, I mean.More photos next week~!************************************************************************************************************************************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.
