Continental Style 1Tricone

I got this nickel-plated bell-brass Continental (must be a play on the work 'National')
tricone resonator guitar in 1999 from a big guitar shop in Vienna called Klangfarbe.
I was there for a 3-day conference and hoped I might find one, as they are made
in Munich, which isn't that far away. I phoned round using the Yellow Pages and
couldn't get there fast enough when the man told me he had just one.
It had been sitting in the shop for a good while so I got it for £850.
Its a round neck but I wanted it for steel playing so I fitted a nut extender I got from Paul Beard
Serial number 9505752
