6’2” S&Z that, if Pierce is to be believed, was built in
1900. It has been rebuilt, probably awhile back. It has been
deteriorating in a practice room for several years, but my sense is that it is
of high original quality. Its tone, even now, is strong. It has a
separate tenor bridge with wound trichords. Regulation and maintenance are
pretty straightforward. I can’t comment on any rebuilding issues
with it. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
