I wonder what it sounds and plays like. I think by that time the back and sides were walnut,nthought at first I thought mahogany.

Here's pics of the one from eBay. You would think the seller could at least prop it up on a chair and take a full on photo front and back.

way back at seattles northwest folklife festival there was an instrument auction. i tried two different levins there. i really liked them but the bidding was fast and i was much more interested in a harp--and i got the harp!!!
