Knutsen Harp Taropatch
The fourth surviving harp taropatch, which I was able to acquire in 2012. It matches HT4 very closely - they could almost be twins, other than a slightly different headstock shape and the soundhole rope going in different directions. This one had the top stripped and the back and sides refinished very dark (to cover a patch in the side). I've since refinished the refin.
