Scott Mann has sent me some great photos of instruments made by John H Calvert Parker from around 1890 to 1930 in Montreal and Vermont.
Many look just like the (so-called) Irish bouzoukis and Sobell citterns which were heralded as modern inventions/adaptations.
Just shows: there's nowt new....

I was expecting this to be about the Parker Fly and similar modern electric guitars - which look a bit odd but sound very good indeed.
