One of the most fascinating Knutsen instrument         photographs ever discovered! The man on the right is Bert Amend, who lost an arm as a shake mill         worker, only to return to music after inventing several attachments and         devices to enable himself and similarly handicapped players to play many         different instruments - including two or three fancy Knutsens! Photo circa 1913-1915
