Parker Classic

Handmade in Penzance, Cornwall by Alf Parker. Rosewood and maple, gold plated and engraved. Beautiful condition with original case and sales brochure. I've left the worn head on, as when I heard it at the weekend it sounded stunning, so I'm loathed to change it. However, I will fit a new head should a customer request it. £1850. Photos

Free shipping to the UK and Europe.
