I'm falling in love a little bit with the tone on Winnie Winston book recordings. I assume it was Bill Keith playing. Anybody know what equipment was recorded by whoever played those arrangements? Forum search only revealed that at some point he owned an Emmons wrap. Anybody know for sure how to get that kind of sound? Aside from having Bill Keith's hands of course.

Thanks!

Bill's son Martin is on Facebook and is a really good guy.

I always thought it was Winnie who done most of those recordings?

SGF member Lynn Stafford has Bill Keith's 1965 Emmons wraparound and showed some photos of this red-bellied beauty in this thread from last January:
