Easingwold / G&J

Pleasant overall, but far from perfect tuning and with some very odd 
sounds. The trebles are a bit like meat-plates being smashed on a 
china stall at the village fete, but less "twangy" than some of the 
period.

The treble at Coleman's Hatch sounds as if it's cracked, but it 
isn't - I went over it with a fine-tooth comb many years ago and all 
I could find was exceptionally thick shoulders - presumably inserted 
to keep the fundamentals up.

I am about 15,000 miles away from my records, but if I remember 
correctly Withyham are not a complete Taylor ring ...smashing 
nonetheless!
