Re: The Ernst: 1920's attempt at more volume
Well my good friends here might cluck their tongues about it, but I think it's muy coolioso, novel or not.
Interesting that Ernst was from Camden, NJ between the Weymann (Philadelphia) and the Oscar Schmidt / Ciani / Ricca North Jersey orbits.
It has the gourd / melanzane shape and amorphous pick guard as a Ciani mandolin I have, likely from the same era.
Thanks for posting!
Please post more information, feedback and photos if you can.
