Offers...
1980s Mariano Model IT-3300
12 inch head I think. I will try to remember to get an exact measurement and pit it here.
Not bad condition... a bit out of round but that adds character I think.
It may have the original head as there is a GonBops logo stamped on it. It's playable with this head but in my opinion I'd tuck a new head depending on the use of course. The drum was split from head to toe between two staves when I picked it up about 10 years ago. I went here and got some good instruction on how to repair it. It turned out great. I took that opportunity to sand the nicks out and refinish it.
Reasonable offers will be looked at.
I'm in Canada but if there is a prospective buying near the boarder at Oroville Wa. I could transport the drum to the Canadian side at that crossing.

Just a side remark: The drum is most likely from the late 1980s or even '90s. The badges were foil in the 1970s way into the '80s, not sure when they changed it to plates. Also, the same line of hardware was labeled 3000, not 3300, back then. Anyway, I don't think it makes any difference. It's the same mahogany bodies that they had used in the '70s.

Its mid-80s I think.
The head is about 12" if I recall... maybe a little under.
