Knutsen Harp Hawaiian Guitar
Would you believe....another wonderful harp steel, but once
again with trebles removed (the pin holes filled with pearl) - and the
bass arm removed (or more likely broken off).
Those rare, occasional little inlays at the tail end are widely spaced and
straight this time.
