They still had typical Stradella bass actions available and S Soprani preferred New Scandalli individual key action, and so they used them. Or were absorbed with Scandalli, but were using the facilities.Īt first, the factory they used after hours was tooled for outputting bodies with the Their factory burned to the ground, and before they actually merged

What you are seeing is some of the output from Settimo Soprani after

There’s probably a very simple explanation for what the clip is there for but I would be interested to know. I see no signs anywhere that microphones have been fitted there are no holes anywhere for jack connectors, volume controls etc.

It looks like a clip to slide something into and the sprung tongue along its middle there to hold the ‘something’ secure. The 2nd photo shows a clip under the treble grille. The treble reeds require some minor tuning but their leather valves seem good for a few years yet. The metal bar securing the two larger bass reed blocks had somehow become strained allowing the reed blocks to rise away from the sounding board and leak air when being played. The treble reed block are pencilled 1, 2, and 3 and one of the screws in the treble grille is not original but apart from that these are the only signs that somebody might have been inside. It might be from the 60s but it is in near original condition from what I’ve seen so far. Somebody took a chance on eBay and got this Settimio Soprani 37/3voice 80bass 5voice from Bulgaria.
