THE MOZZANI MONSTER

Here comes another one - cc's got a bee in his bonnet about Luigi Mozzani who made these impossibly complicated harp-guitars in the 1910's & '20's.

Apparently Mario Maccaferri who designed & made the "Manouche" type guitars a played by Django Reinhardt for Selmer of Paris owned five Mozzanis!

CC's in love with French walnut - it's such an easy wood to bend...

The weird thing is - they seem to sell!
