Daniel Hersh Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 It's here on eBay. Distressed condition, but very elaborate fretwork. Is it a higher-end Lachenal? The case resembles a Lachenal case that I have. Here's a pic:
jggunn Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 I would guess a relatively high level Lachenal such as the Excelsior or Inimitable but before the New Model
Geoff Wooff Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 The slotted strap adjustment would also suggest Lachenal .
Stephen Chambers Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 It's a high-end Lachenal of its day, that would have belonged to a serious player seeing that it's (unusually) a 56 key with extra fretwork, and it has fittings for a neck strap.
Wolf Molkentin Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Might have been called "The Inimitable" (with ud adding "Extended Treble") those days, thus possibly not having the large scale reeds of The Excelsior and The Non-Pareil... but still belonging to the higher end series.
