Just wanting to hear the old girl play, I emailed Even Christopher, which is a well known player from here in New Orleans. I asked him if he would be interested in playing it. I also emailed a picture of it to Martin Freres in order to narrow down the manufacture date. The one on their site has flat cups while the ones posted here have spoon cups. I am assuming that the spoon cups are earlier than the flat style. This picture is the one from their site.
