Part of it are solid - certainly the keywork - but the body seems to be quite thin. Had a few surprises when leveling some of the toneholes.I’ve had a total of one on my bench. That was only to make a replacement pillar for cloth guard. All lacquered brass finish. Wasn’t dropped off with crook included. Never played it..
I do remember this being of good solid metal and craftsmanship. Also that the lacquer was practically flammable.
