Re: Early '50s Evette & Schaeffer Master Model

Some E&S Master Models were evidently just good Evette Schaeffers. Supposedly some E&S Master Models were R13 rejects which were then labelled E&S Master Models. Whereas the good Evette Schaeffers will have characteristic E&S keywork (right hand sliver key has longer shaft and arm straight down to the pad cup), the R13 rejects would have an R13 right hand sliver key with a curved arm, and cutouts in the wood under the crows feet of the right hand pinkie keys.

As to whether one of the other is better, I can't comment much, as I have not played a pre-1955 ES.
