Who cares? Not me. I play 2 lovely Wheatstone MaCanns. I don't actually care who made the various bits that make them up. They sound perfectly fine to me.
And, NO. I'm not the slightest bit interested in moving the straps around.
Why does the word Pedant spring to mind at this point?
And to answer your pointless question. Tommy Williams worked for anyone who would pay him.
As did many others. So, Kindly define a Wheatstone, Lachenal, etc, and name all the craftsmen involved in their manufacture...Go on...
