Well, Hey Pamela!
Thanks. I forgot to mention that it has carved acoustic chambers a la Jimmy D'Aquisto which improve physical balance (no drooping heads here!) but that's just frosting on the cake. I am extremely pleased with tone, timbre, and sustain.
HaHa! The knobs are indeed original and what an eye you possess! I'm assuming you mean the round ones in the writing desk area. Those are all of ivory and there actually is no unintended discoloration. The illusion is my fault and it was, in fact, this picture that gave me a more objective perspective to see that I'd installed the knobs incorrectly. The three yellowed ones are supposed to be on the three little drawers along the top. The whiter ones are all supposed to be as a block, book-ending the central doored compartment.
I wrote you a description of the wood, construction, and finish and exceeded 1000 characters.... by 2200. Oh Snap! So until I figure out how to sidestep the rules, that will have to wait.
Hello Pamela
As soon as I saw your pleasant welcome I tried a few times to respond in a couple different ways and was thwarted because I had too few posts then. Apparently I'm rockin' uptempo now because it's letting me post. I first joined this forum by stumbling into an outrageous post somewhere (Just because I wander doesn't mean I'm lost) and came here in something of a huff. Since then I've grown to like this community very much and you were one of the first impressions. Thank you.
Jimmy
