The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has in its collection what appears to be an
authentic Colson lute-back. I have no reason to think it otherwise,
anyway. It is quite small and a *sweet* looking thing. Not playable, so I
can't comment on its sound...

I was looking at that... First time I ever-saw a lute-back Colson. There
are a few Guitar shaped Colsons with the OTW people. Colson has a panache
similar to Studebaker or Mac. The owners are generally believers...
I like to look at them, but I might buy one if I had a chance to play it.
I really am not in the market for an antique restoral until I have one to
play....
