Mike Pierceall Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 "I Think When I Read that Sweet Story of Old" A number of versions of this hymn tune have appeared over the years. My rendition is based on William Batchelder Bradbury's version from the 1850s. Played on a Wheatstone Aeola here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Wilson Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Nice one, enjoyed. You're playing lots of chords Mike and so working the bellows a lot. How do you rate the air economy on your Aeola, albeit with only five fold bellows. I have an Edeophone, six fold, and I find air economy very poor compared with my Wakker concer.

There are a lot of 4-note chords as well as a low F drone through much of that piece, but I found the 5-fold bellows just fine. I replaced the pads and valves during the refurbishment so the instrument is very efficient in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Michel Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I've really enjoyed these last few posts, Michael; the Aeola sounds fantastic, the rich harmonies you've worked out are marvelous, and hearing music so different from the kind of spare, melody-line kind of stuff I mostly play (albeit on Anglo) makes me itch to expand my palette a little. These bear repeated listening! Thanks. Bob Michel Near Philly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hersh Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Really nice - thanks for posting! I like your combination of drones and harmonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
