All he could tell me was that it was mf'd in 1903, and is just under 6' in length. Apparently it has been staring him down from the corner of his shop for the past 15 years, daring him to restore it. I'm guessing he blinked first. Can anyone shed some light on this brand and/or model for me? Would it be of similar potential to perhaps a Mehlin or a Fischer? much thanks! Mark Cramer, Brandon University </BLOCKQUOTE> My experience with AB Chase have been good. Although I have never rebuilt one, the ones I have tuned and worked on were very good instruments. Because of the name, you won''t get much for it if you tried to sell it. But if it is for you, I think you'll be happy with it once it's been rebuilt. Wim </HTML>
