Not much is known about these rare drums. Here’s what was found on the internet:“The French company went out of business in 1981 and left behind a legacy of innovation and quality that is becoming quite sought after in the twenty-first century. Asba produced a wide range of percussion instruments and were - before the LP brand began their quest for world domination - one of the best buys in this area.The Asba company was started by Alfred Boudard in 1928. Originally called "Alfred and Simone Boudard, Accessories", the Asba company worked from a site in Brevannes near Paris. Their drums were hand-built and over the years Asba produced a number of interesting, occasionally ground breaking products. Right up until the end, Asba drums were truly hand made with the twenty-strong workforce making the components and assembling the drums by hand. This resulted in drums of very high quality and very high prices. The market was changing and with the mass-production power of the Japenese companies, Asba was one of the many companies to fall during that period. Very few Asba drums come onto the market today. I assume this simply reflects the fact that there aren't many of these drums around.These drums have been well cared for and are in great shape.
