Product Details

•A newly made Snare Drum Beater for a Wurlitzer 104/105/125 Band Organ. The Beater uses two Wurlitzer unit valve blocks and is entirely vacuum operated. The valve blocks are custom made by R.M.R and are the highest quality reproduction Wurlitzer valves made today. The internal valve in the block is made of leather and are adjustable like originals. They are NOT made of Sponge Neoprene like other companies. The valves are connected in such a way as to operate alternately in rapid succession. So, as long as vacuum is applied, the beater pneumatics collapse alternately,  operated by the music roll. These pneumatics are spring loaded also, but in this case the spring holds the pneumatic open and the beater away from the drum head when vacuum is not applied to the pneumatic. A short burst of vacuum produces a single stroke of the left beater and a long application of vacuum produces a drum roll using both beaters. Center of Beater balls are 9 1/4" from bottom of the base. Base is 7 1/4" wide with a 1/2" inlet. The Pneumatics are covered with Medium Chrome Leather  . The beater unit is typically used with a 14” Snare Drum but can be used with other dimensions. The vacuum to the Beater is typically activated by a vacuum Actuating Block (not included) that is connected to the tracker bar. Some applications differ.

   I spend a great amount of time trying to build these units with as much detail as possible. The main draw in my opinion that attracts people to Band Organs, Nickelodeons or any other Pneumatically ran musical instrument is watching the moving parts as it plays and the Bass and Snare Drum Beaters are usually the main instrument in view and are the most interesting ones to look at in action. Keeping that in mind I build ALL my instruments as if they where going to be my own. Using and finding the best materials possible.90% of the lumber I use is hand picked Maple and all glue joints are done with Hide Glue.
