Rope-tensioned Drum with Shoulder-belt and two Sticks
Monogramm GD [= Donator] (engraving, lock)
Georg Duthaler (1907–1999) was certainly the best drum expert in Basel.
He received this drum as a confirmation-present in 1923, not on Palm Sunday, as is usual but, since he was a good drummer who loved taking part in the carnival, already before carnival. The drum belonged previously to the leather-merchant Eduard Baumgartner, Steinenvorstadt 8 who probably was a member of 'Lalli-Clique' already before World War I.
The 'Lalli'-Clique was at that time the only one with white leatherware. Furthermore, this clique had drums made in nickel silver shortly before World War I.
The shoulder-belt was made by Carl Dischler; the sticks are copied from those of Hans Hafelfinger.
