England, 1950-70s This is the sister of our represented below Guildhall’s apple. The same time, the same manufacturer, the same excellent quality of a briar, the same three shining aluminium stripes. We had a bit more efforts for the mouthpiece restoration and the repair point is slightly remarcable. Therefore our generall score will be, say,…
