Fantini 3 row CBA?

[Deleted member 101]

Hello all,
I may be misremembering, but I recall seeing a rather grand looking and excellent sounding Fantini 3 row CBA.
I think it might have been a 96 bass, but I could be wrong.
I did chat to the owner but can't recollect the details
A quick check of the Fantini site and t'internet has proved unproductive.
Was I dreaming or does it exist. :?

Could it be this B/C/C# you saw?

No, I initially thought myself it must be diatonic on the treble but it was a CBA according to the owner-he would know his own instrument one would think (especially after shelling out big bucksfor top quality).
Thinking about it it may have been an 80 bass as I think it may have had only 5 rows on the bass side.
Perhaps it was a one off or perhaps it wasnt a Fantini-though Ive convinced myself it was. Memory problems .... :?

Not, it should be emphasise that I am in the market for such a machine, just plain curiosity really.
That's why I'm lothe to ring Emilio in London as he's busy enough with genuine " real business" enquiries.
What has got me thinking though is playing new tunes with the first 3 rows of my CBA only (in readiness when the mythical tiny travel 3 row is unearthed), it's an interesting exercise.
