Pete Dunk Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 serial number 36297What year would it be? Is it one of those with allouminium reedplates? 30th November 1957. As to the reed shoe material I haven't a clue, did aluminium have any other effect than to make the instrument lighter? Was the durability/tolerance of aluminium vs. brass an issue?

I'll pass this one. I think it was discussed and generally accepted that these instruments were of lesser quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
