New Harwood To Identify
An employee gave me this saying it was sitting on a shelf at her house rotting away. I was hoping for a lost Loar, expecting junk, and got this really sweet Harwood bowl-back! I cleaned it up and restrung it, and it sounds amazing! No cracks, finished is checked but stable.
I can’t find a serial number inside. The back of the headstock on the top is stamped 35095. Most Harwood pics I’ve seen don’t have the big plate over the back of the tuners.
I’m here in Kansas City so the link to Jenkins Music is quite probable.
Any good guesses about its age?
