Standel - Musical Instruments

Musical Instruments

From 1961 to 1967, Standel had a short period as a manufacturer of stringed instruments.

Actually Standel never made instruments, but the name went on a series of good quality electric guitars and at least one hollow body electric bass, built by Sam Koontz at the request of Bob Crooks. Bill Lynch of Prattville, Alabama is the current owner of the electric bass, called a 400-D, serial number 1023L. Some of these instruments may have been sold as Harptone or Mosrite.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or instruments:

    There was something refreshingly and wildly musical to my ears in the very name of the white man’s canoe, reminding me of Charlevoix and Canadian Voyageurs. The batteau is a sort of mongrel between the canoe and the boat, a fur-trader’s boat.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
