I also have an Artist made (1920's ?) for RS Williams
in Toronto. It is a 3/4 size palour guitar with a split
ribbon back, ribbon inlay on the sides and has kluson type
tuners with a metal tailpiece. The only similar guitars
I can compare this to is the early Washburn palour guitars.

My question is this: Did Arthur Hensel really make all those guitars and not leave any trace of where his workshop
was in Toronto. In order to produce the volume he produced
he would have had to have employees working for him or
did he just contract out the jobs. Remember a lot of
early guitars were made by Washburn and Harmony.

I don't mind being wrong on this and I apologize if I
offended anyone, but he did produce quite a bit of
volume for one person.
