i have decided to part with a tortoiseshell 50 key treble Aeola, if any one is really interested please contactn me for full details .If it sells then a donation will be made .Contact by mail or phone for uk residents. Mike

This item is not made by Wheatstone; it is a Jones, there are several identifying aspects in the photos and still the seller is claiming it as a Wheatstone . Caveat Emptor! Mike😟

Hello, A lot of reeds appear to have solder on the tips which may mean that the pitch may be lower than a standard treble. can you tell me what the lowest note is on the right hand end. Many thanks . Mike

All the talk of the Wheatstone labels is probably a red herring, I have three Eaolas with tortoiseshell ends from three years in the 1920's with this style and the fourth one has the Lozenge style. I think the person making these boxes used what they at the time. Regards. Mike
