PRESCOTT, ABRAHAM
ROS Reg No. 6841


Bellows have been restored. Ivory key covers. Keys are stamped with numbers, but only naturals. Swell shade is a shutter pivoting on a screw at the bass end of the top, moved by the ivory button in the top center. Key tails rabbeted to receive a key-keeper: probably not original. Channel-type reeds, mounted upside down, with "L" nail to secure outer end. Reeds are NOT stamped with pitch; pitches are written in pencil at the toe of each reed: "f, x, g, x, a, x, b, c, x, d, x..." etc. Note: builder name is tenative, it is likely a Prescott but not confirmed.
