Wheatstone ebony-ended 48 key pinhole Aeola baritone
Mike Acott replied to conzertino's topic in Buy & Sell
My 1927 baritone Aeola was made as a lightweight for the lady who ordered it and is the best one I have ever played ,owned or had through my hands and there are several players who have played that would agree with me. I might be interested in making an offer on the plnhole in a week or so ,if it has not been sold by then. Mike -

I am am parting with a couple of rare boxes, one is a 19th century and one 20th century. The early one is in top order and has the reed pans chambered on both sides with the inner baffles. It would suit a singer as the tone is excellent and and even in response and volume. The later one is an Edeophone which can be varied in tone and volume it has a riveted action six fold bellows and a fret pattern I have never seen before. It has 58 keys and on the left end has a low F and F# button. Both are fully restored and in concert pitch. Please see the photos attached. I can send more information or
