While not Alembic themed…..any Entwistle fan Would recognize how rare this is.

Also, attention at House O Been Down….a rare 5 String Steinberger:

Rare bird indeed! I remember seeing Entwistle playing an 8 string Buzzard on the Conan O'Brien show many years ago. Here he is with the Who doing Trick of the Light.

Saw the Ox on his Left For Dead tour, even met him after the show.   He played the Buzzard that night… it certainly isn’t an Alembic.
