Johansson1991

Thanks for your notes Geoffrey, upon further inspection I've found that the range is C4- G5.

Hey guys, for those who were interested in the tuning, I used DATuner on andriod to find the notes. I dont know much about music but here is what i found...

Hi guys, for your interest I will post another picture after work. I can see the imperfections where the extra key was fitted.

My father can confirm it was the Myer who died in Malvern in 1978 and he was a 'frock manufacturer' designed cloths.

I can't say that I know of him, but there was a Myer Sutherland who was born in 1908, and died Malvern, Victoria 1978 - could that be the man? I can't say definitively but the odds would be in your favor... any significance?

Incredible. Hats off to Harry. All I can say is that she got it off a man called Myer Sutherland. Apparently he travelled a lot in his youth, whether it was simply a souvineer or he played, I couldn't say.

You seem to be the man in the know! It's incredible that the Wheatstone history is so well preserved. I won't make any decisions as to it's future just yet, but i will say i've been yearning to learn it's history for a long time! Thanks a lot for your input!

I managed to find the ledger just as you posted the information! Could you recommend any basic learning material if I were to try to play it? Are these worth anything? Thank's a lot Stephen

Thank you Stephen! The serial number is 31431 - from this I think I have deduced it was made in the 1920's. Do you know where I can find more information? I only guessed it was a duet based on my untrained ear pressing the keys. I could indeed be an english system

Hey guys! first time here So i found this old Wheatstone in my Aunties cupboard and started to research it, but I can't find much! From my research I think I've figured out it was made in the 1920's and is a Duet concertina with 19 keys. Would anyone know where I can find info on how to play a 19 key concertina? Or any history related to them. All the other concertinas are so much bigger! Thanks in advance! :)
