And Who Made This One?

[Daniel Hersh]

Here on eBay. I can't even decide whether I think it's British or German made.

I asked the seller to put up interior pictures, which he did--it appears to have inhaled large amounts of dust, but it looks English to my untutored eye.

Yes, it does look English-made. Thanks! The action looks like it's Lachenal-style.

Still wondering about this one. An inquiry on eBay suggests that it's a Jones. Did Jones use this fretwork design? How about the action design? I think of that as being Lachenal-style, but don't know if other makers used it too.

Hi,

It looks remarkably similar to this early Lachenal (no 7228). Neil

I think we can be pretty certain it's not a Jones

[Daniel Hersh]

Thanks! I imagine that's the answer.
