The neck-thru does have a very Alembic look to it, but the real head scratcher is that bird tailpiece. I thought that was unique to Alembic. If I were to guess, possibly an employee project |

Several manufacturers have copied the bird tailpiece. Fernandes did direct rip-off Series copies in the late '70's, early 80's for example. Bill, tgo |

To my eye it's not a very pretty instrument at all regardless of who made it. It looks more like someone has cannibalised the brass bits bits off an old alembic and made them fit. Jazzyvee |
