Question to RopeDrums Group Members: Based on the photos posted to our group's
website, does this drum look right to you? I think it's okay but I'd like your
input.

E.g., aside from the fact that the counterhoop on top has a snare bed,
it's stenciled. Does anyone know when stenciling on counterhoops began?

Also, does the inlay look correct for the period?

And, was that a Soistmann inlay pattern?

Note what appears to be a bone vent grommet.

Thanks.
