<DIV><FONT size=3> I think I have one of these in my
clientele. It,s 9 ft almost as I recall. I don't recall if we ta=
lked
a bout it previously but it is Rosewood with scroll legs. We call em k=
ing
Neptune legs. Stretcher is showing cracks from the stress. Origi=
nal
strings. Doesn't sound so good as you can imagine. I hate to see it.&n=
bsp;
We've discussed rebuilding it but I don't need another can of worms opened r=
ight
now (ever). It desperately needs a board/everything IMO</FONT></DIV>
