20" Caravan Old J 1864 grams. 1960s.

This is a weird one. The first Old J I've seen that isn't made of brass. Might be B10 or B8. It's some kind of bronze alloy. I have heard of others being made of B20. Never saw one though.

Really dark and dry, but still musical. Very flexible.

What is an "old J"? I've never heard that term before.

Made in Japan I believe.

Oh, cool. Indeed, I used to have one from the early 70s that sounded great and that I wish I still had. It was 22", thin, dark and dry, and probably $10. Recorded well too.
