Thanks!
It was made by Queen, with their awesome D2 steel, in 2002. Branded with the Marbles name, 1 of 350. Fantastic dark green bone, which I have a hard time photographing, depending hugely on lighting and background colors... heh
This one is a favorite -- I like the bigguns, and this one is sturdy enough for its size. Solidly built, walks and talks like a champ, spring is flush in all 3 positions (open, half stop, and closed). And the D2 steel is probably my favorite cutlery steel, so that's another mark in this one's favor.
Queen did a whole bunch of old brand name revivals around that time (90s and 00s): Marbles, Robeson, Case Classic, etc.
As for the bodhran, well... it's more of a decoration than a real instrument; sadly, it doesn't sound very good, but it looks good on the wall.
I was fortunate enough to buy this one from our fellow forumite, Invoice, a few years ago. Thanks again, brother! :thumbup:
