Default American Bass

Ken,

I was in a southern california violin shop yesterday window shopping and spotted an interesting instrument made by Bryant. The tuning gears were original with the maker's city stamped on them, Lowell, Massechusates. The bass is violin cornered, very english/panormo-like. Needs some minor restoration (open seams & fixing the scroll due to an old school mechanical extension installation), and some tonal adjustments, But this bass is easy to play. Any info on this particular maker ?
