Mike Pierceall Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 This is an instrument I've been restoring on and off for the past couple of years. I installed a new set of bellows today. This is an impromptu video here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Taylor Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Mike: Nice playing as always. Did you 'sweeten' the tone with a bit of audio post-processing or is that really how that New Model sounds? Really nice round sound. I also did not hear any Lachenal action clacking. What sort of action is this? Don. Edited December 21, 2017 by Don Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wild Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 enjoyable as ever Michael. the description said a 61 key tenor treble. I usually think of 56 buttons for a TT. What extra range do you have? - John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of action is this? Don. Thank you, Don. The sound is as-recorded. No post processing. The action is the standard Lachenal hook action. This is the second set of bellows I've made for this instrument. The first set used a heavier-weight card stock that was not entirely to my liking. I used a thinner and harder card stock for this set, which gives the instrument a brighter tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What extra range do you have? - John. Thank you, John. The additional notes bring the instrument up to D# in the 7th position. The lowest note is, as typical for a TT, C below middle C. It is unusual in that most extended TT's I've seen are 64-key instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Molkentin Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Don, in my own experience the "hook" just might make it a bit slow, whereas the click-e-di-clack is indicative of worn bushings. Best wishes - Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
