One of my favourite sets of all time, that. I was quite disappointed to hear that the mounts were an aftermarket addition!

Yes, somebody went to town on that one. As a one off, it had a strange fascination. I wonder if, eventually, anyone got it going in a satisfactory way. At the time (twenty five years or so ago) it either had, supposedly, a lovely tone or it was in tune, but never both at the same time. During the ten years or so I often saw it, it wasn't in playing condition.

Van Daal practice set in D - EU only.

It's a Kenna, the only piece bearing a maker's mark (the body of the set is not Kenna but a convincing case has been made for it being a remounted Ryan).
