[Rhodes22-list] Bow pulpit where is Jay B (Just Bent)?

[JbTek]

Linda,
My Rhodes is a 1990.
 This is what my pulpit looks like but my guess is there are no 2 exactly
alike.
The hull shape is the same so a new pulpit should fit just fine. If the
holes don't line up, fill them or cover them with a plate.
Jb
