Makes this box a delight to handle Has some slight wood damage to left hand frame.No cracks. Some tarnishing on ends.Various small age dints on wooden frame. In no way serious, nor affecting solidity or playing performance.I believe this to be one of the higher grade models sold by Lachenal.I use this for both tunes and singing. It is indeed a lovely player with the vintage, classy old steel reeded sound.I have this one for sale as I recently took delivery of another Wheastone.The price is very reasonable for this genuine, fine instrument.
