1920s Stromberg-Voisinet/Kay 2-point flatback

Pretty lil gal with a 13" scale. Full pics & clip at my website (http://antebelluminstruments.blogspot.com/2015/01/1920s-stromberg-voisinet-2-point.html).

What's surprising, is just like those stiffly-braced Larson mandos (Leland come to mind) with a short scale, this really does have some decent volume. It's a weird push-pull, I guess.

Nice job, Jake. Nice sounding instrument, too.
Bet it's cold out there on the step.

Yeah, it's cold these days, but I try to take the photos around midday/early afternoon when it's about 30F and sunny. I take em quick, too... :)

Nothing beats natural light.
