Are you sure that the name wasn't Conover Cable, with a "v" instead of
a "b". The name is well-known. It was last made by Aeolian. I was unaware
that someone had bought the name and was using it again. Also, considering
the quality of the instruments produced under than name in moddern times,
I wonder why they would want to use it. Maybe the "b" wasn't a mistake!
