'Jubilee'
|
The
“Jubilee” model. Mechanically similar to the “standard” but with Sapele
veneered sides and ends, using a design inspired by an 11th century Norman
church wall decoration. The bellows papers are colourfully decorated with
designs and scenes taken from wall paintings in various 11th-13th century
Norman churches here in East and West Sussex.
Brass
buttons, brass fittings, wooden ends with felt bushing. A richer, more mellow
sound. |
This
model is also available, with stainless steel or brass buttons, with the
ends, sides and bellows papers in black.
