Model number is LM405. ;D

The guy sold it off-auction for $800. He told me that Ludwig could only account for two dozen keystone Acros ever made and all were built for endorsers.

"you can get the current Acrolite(really blacrolite) 6.5X14 with ten lugs(bowtie) at your local drum shop for about $240" I've seen them advertised for $199 ! However, do these sound the same as the keystone blacros? It has been well established that many of the 70's Acros and Blacros were a little "mushy" sounding. Aso, virtually everyone agrees that the re-issue BB's and Supras are lacking a little magic. So, one has to wonder. Has Mr A done a comparison of the 5" models?

'60s: keystone '70s: blue/olive badge The "Black Galaxy" Acrolite (a.k.a. the blacrolite) is the contemporary version of the instrument. Personally, I can hear a clear difference between it and my keystone Acro, but I'm not sure how to put it into words. |
