Choosing between Normelle / Collard & Collard

[UI99]

Hi there,

I'm currently deliberating between obtaining either a Normelle upright, or a Collard & Collard upright. As far as I've been told, both are in working order but require tuning. Unfortunately at the moment I don't have any more specific details.

My question is: Is one of these makes considered to be quite superior to the other (in which case my decision is an easy one)? If so, in what way? Or do I really need to do more research and track down their serial numbers etc?

Thanks in advance!

C&C is the better make, but everything depends on age and condition. Get a tuner to look at them for you if you want a proper opinion. All we can tell you here is a rough age and we would need photos/numbers.
