Knutsen Harp Guitar
Though it can't be seen in the picture (a portion of the Linrod Family
Orchestra photo), this is clearly a Seattle "Lower Bass Point" harp
guitar. Obviously, it would be difficult to positively ID it, if the actual
instrument was ever found.
Again, I'm trying to avoid duplication and "over counting," while
still inventorying each instrument that Knutsen made.
