Lawries, circa 1930, nickel and ivory
SOLD–This is a classic late 1920s-1930 Lawrie set distinguished by large beads on the ivory projecting mounts.
The set was in very good condition, and a complete strip revealed no cracks. The set was refinished, and fissures in the ivory bass ring and the blowstick projecting mount were filled and stabilized. The blowpipe stock is a poly replica with the original mount. The tapered nickel mounts are in mint condition.
The set played with a rich, steady sound that locked nicely. The tenors tune a touch low.
