I will take a wild guess: built in 1992

I think it is a 1992.

My guess is:

February, 1992
the four thousandth, five hundreth, sixth instrument built up to that date

yep go figure

far too large a number to be an ancient.. but it is such a nice thing to play after the tanglewood I was having problems with.
It was introduced to the bluegrass lot on Saturday practice this last weekend and is due to make its appearence on this coming Sunday on a couple of shows.. I do hope it behaves itself. It is also dealing with some quite serious fingering problems I was having with some early music I am busy on- things like Childgrove , and Fandango- from the Playford collection- stuff I daren't even contemplate with the Tangle wood. thanks folks

I think you mean Bozeman, MT (Montana) label... right?
