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:
“If we cannot sing of faith and triumph, we will sing our despair. We will be that kind of bird. There are day owls, and there are night owls, and each is beautiful and even musical while about its business.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I rejoice that America has resisted. Three millions of people, so dead to all the feelings of liberty, as voluntarily to submit to be slaves, would have been fit instruments to make slaves of the rest.”
—William Pitt, The Elder, Lord Chatham (1708–1778)
