My friend brought his 192? Blue Comet to practice tonight. It's a little different. The back is simular to a resonator, almost like having two backs or a sound chamber.
Sorry for the low resolution pictures, I only had my Palm Zire with me.

I think there was a thread showing this (or its twin) for sell on ebay about 2 months ago.
What does it sound like?

It sounds about like you would think, very old timey. Plays well, but not real loud. Robin has had this a while. He bought it at an antique store.

These are made of 1940s plywood and are quite cool but fairly common under other names, tho Blue Comet seems to be the most common. I had one with an Imperial decal years ago that I sold to a musician who at the time played backup with Howard Armstrong. He said Armstrong used one for his mandolin.
