The Carlton "Prince" Model is a highly sought-after, vintage snare drum produced in England by the Carlton Percussion Instrument Co. dating back to the 1920s and 1930s. Known for its brilliant craftsmanship and unique snare systems, it is a prized collector's item for vintage drum enthusiasts.

Snare System: Notable for its unique dual-wire system. Vintage models often utilize one internal snare wire touching the top head and one external wire on the bottom head, providing a highly responsive and sensitive snare tone

The Carlton brand was an iconic British percussion name, often favored by English dance band drummers. The "Prince" Model remains an elusive find on the vintage market, highly valued for its striking brass aesthetic and complex, historical snare configuration. This particular model is offered in all original condition with calf heads in the ultra rare “Butterfly Wing Pearl” finish
