Hello UU. This instrument belonged to the late and great Laurindo Almeida (my late step-father-in-law). I can't for the life of me figure out what type of instrument it is. Help! It has:
5 Strings
wooden tuning pegs
only 4 frets
cool binding
what looks to be a laminated cedar top (?)
a rounded back (secured by a strip of denim, glued on the inside seam - maybe put in by Laurindo?)
What is this thing? Thank you, in advance, for your comments and opinions.
