    Description

    Antique 1920's Regal Octofone, or Octophone
    All original with no modifications.
    Stamped "PAT.APLD.FOR" which would date pre-1931
    The Regal Musical Instruments company to design a unique instrument that could replicate the sounds of 8 other instruments. Those instruments were the tenor guitar, tenor banjo, ukulele, taro patch, tiple, mandolin, mandola and mandocello.
    The inside sticker has hand written "JJH 1932" which I am assuming is from a previous owner.
    This piece is virtually untouched, down to the strings.
    I am not skilled in guitar repair, i haven't touched it in fear that I could possibly cause damage. This piece is has much potential to someone who can invest in the repairs.
