Auctioneer Richard Winterton with some of the instruments

Seven drum kits, more than a dozen guitars and a 1970s synthesiser are among the items being sold by Richard Winterton Auctioneers on 1st March.

Accumulated over half a century by a professional drummer, the kits date back as far as a 1962 Rogers set.

The whole collection is expected to fetch around £20,000 when they go under the hammer.

Technology specialist Stuart Hay said:

>  
> “From the rarest through the usual to unusual amalgamated instruments, they’re all here and ready for some new owners to enjoy.”

The guitars up for sale include an early 1980s Dan Smith era USA Fender Stratocaster Gold on Gold.

The Fender Stratocaster Gold on Gold

> “It is a fabulous guitar in amazing condition along with an iconic Tweed Fender case that looks like it has done its job protecting this gem.
