INFORMATION

This large acoustic bass guitar is an innovative instrument and is part of the Prairie State series of guitars with a large body. It was manufactured by the Larson brothers of Maurer & Co. from Chicago and includes their double pin construction, which they patented in 1930. It has nineteen frets, the last seven of which are mounted on the body. A protruding pin allows the instrument to be played upright between the knees in the cello position.
