Paul Read Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) A beautiful example of a 40-button Wheatstone. This one, 58854, model 7A, C/G, dates to 1965 and is a fine player. 8-fold bellows in perfect condition. Comes with a good case. Looking for US$2300 or will consider close offers.

Paul Read Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Pics of the left reed pan as requested. Note that some of the valves had curled and have been replaced. Edited November 20, 2017 by Paul Read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hey, so I don't know much about these late Wheatstones, and I'm wondering whether it could serve as a upgrade from my (very decent) c. 1949 Wheatstone I bought from Ben a couple years ago. What is the action like on these? It looks like the reed pans are a bit less annoying than on my Wheatstone - the reeds just slide out like in good quality reedpans rather than being bunged in with clips. Anybody have any thoughts? In my kind of simplistic idea of Wheatstone production I have the impression that earlier is better but it would be good to hear other opinions...
