That was no Brinsmead! It was probably a Kemble, who now own the Brinsmead name, though they very rarely use it. The true Brinsmeads were made till about 1905. After that, and into the 20's the genius went out of the design but there were some excellent sounding instruments made. From then on, as everywhere, things got worse and worse. JD
