Stella Contra Bass #507DN Model Harp Guitar, C. 1921
This double-neck Oscar Schmidt Stella harp guitar is contemporary with the Dyer (Larson) and Gibson harp guitars of the teens and twenties, although built to the more common German-style pattern with a fretted neck for chording and an unfretted neck carrying six sub-bass strings. The two Stauffer-esque slotted single-line headstocks meet in the center creating an unusual profile. The auditorium-sized birch body has a single oversized pyramid bridge with twelve pins in a straight line and is finished in Stellas faux-rosewood stain. The top and soundhole are ivoroid bound with oversize herringbone marquetry. There is a somewhat worn but still legible Stella Guitar-Made in America label inside the soundhole.
This guitar is listed in the 1921 Oscar Schmidt catalog at a price of $15.00, a princely sum for a Stella in that era. The long scale gives some of the deep resonance of the famous Stella 12-string guitars, particularly in lower tunings and the sub-bass strings provide many sympathetic overtones. One can even play fretless bass guitar on the upper neck, although this was probably not an intended feature of this design! This is a highly unusual find. VERY RARE COLLECTIBLE
Overall length is 42 in. (106.7 cm.), 14 1/2 in. (36.8 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 3 7/8 in. (9.8 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 26 1/2 in. (673 mm.). This instrument needs to be restored.
These sell restored on eBay for $3500
