Re: Inherited a Washburn Cremonatone Bowlback from about 1905
If it’s going to be a decorative piece, just go get it and don’t worry too much. If you have any interest in restoration, that opens an entirely different conversation. Given the family history, I’d get it, and talk to someone, as Mike suggests. My father was a very broadly talented musician who was a little more than pleased when I took up the Mandolin. At one point, we were snooping for an old Washburn like that for my first Mandolin!
