A consignment of concrete pipes leaving the Stanton-Bonna pipe manufacturing plant at New Stanton, Derbyshire. The former Stanton Iron Works was famous for its cast steel pipes, but there was also a concrete casting division that manufactured sewer pipes and concrete lamppost columns, this side of the business remains active, although manufacture of concrete lampposts ended some years ago.

This cute thing was sent in for consignment (Sold) with the hopes that it wouldn't need much to get it going. Unfortunately, it needed a little bit. Now that it's done, though, man does it have that classic K'zoo tenor sound. It's sort-of breathy, open, and punchy with a good, wide, lower-mids voice to it. I'm not entirely sure of the year as the factory order number at the neckblock is super-faint, but it seems to have an A suffix which would point to 1935.
Old work done on this included some bridge reprofiling, a replacement bone saddle, a dressing or perhaps refret with smaller stock, and three crack repairs to the top. Someone also put some nice, expensive banjo tuners at the headstock, too. Good on them! They look classy as heck. I did some extra, and so...
Repairs included: a neck reset, fret level/dress, cleaning, and setup. I also added side dots to the neck.
Setup notes: action is 1/16" overall at the 12th fret, the neck is straight, and it's strung with 42w, 30w, 18w, 12 gauges for GDAE "Celtic" or "octave mandolin" tuning. The same saddle will work for standard CGDA gauges but I will need to compensate it a little extra for Chicago-style DGBE stringing.
Scale length: 22 13/16"
Nut width: 1 3/16"
String spacing at nut: 15/16"
String spacing at bridge: 1 1/4"
Body length: 17 3/8"
Lower bout width: 14 3/4"
Waist width: 8 3/4"
Upper bout width: 9 7/8"
Side depth at endpin: 4"
Top wood: solid spruce
Back/sides wood: solid mahogany
Neck wood: mahogany
Bracing type: ladder
Fretboard: rosewood, ebony nut
Bridge: rosewood, replacement bone saddle
Neck feel: medium V-shape neck, flat board
Condition notes: it's in very good shape but has 3 repaired hairline cracks to the top, sanded/buffed finish to the bridge's surface compared to original, a replacement saddle, new side dots at the neck, and replacement tuners. There's a scuffed area on the lower-bout-treble-side (seen in pics). The bridgepins and endpin appear to be original celluloid.
It comes with: an original red-brown chip case.
