TRIXON Luxus 0\200 1963.
Drum set in good condition, consisting of a 20”x16” bass drum, 13”x8” tom and a 16”x16” floor tom.
It must have been through a lot, because the original wrap was removed, the shells were left quite natural, and all the badges ended up who knows where. The lugs are those produced by Trixon from 1956 to 1963.
The bass drum has an original rim but without inlay and a metal one, and eight generic screws and claws replace the original ones that were lost. There is an adjustable internal muffler. 13" tom has the original rims but the mufflers have left only the relative sad holes as an everlasting memory. The 16" floor tom has generic triple flange rims and three legs brackets which do not appear to be the original ones, at least judging from the catalogues.
This model was very popular, so much so that there are several around, the beech shells sound full-bodied, round, the tone is very beautiful.
A vintage drum set which, although no longer in its original condition, can still give a lot of satisfaction by lending itself to a possible restoration project (new wrap, rims, etc.).
