Anglo minis are very rare! The one on ebay is a late ( not so good ) one and English-system and has seen a lot of use... You may have noticed that I am selling various mini-Aeolas ( English-system ). Prices negotiable... Minis

Three of them still for sale!!!

Mike, always interested in odd Aeolas. I would appreciate more infos about tuning, number of keys, size, condition and price. Serial no?? Pics would be nice... Robert

John pinned it! He knows my preferences... It is a F-tenor the size of a baritone. If you pick it up and play, it sounds a fifth below treble. It is a wonderful range to play in or sing to without having to transpose. I had several F-Tenor Lachenals, but I have never seen an original F-tenor Aeola. Steve Dickinson offers new instruments alternatively as 48-key tenor or tenor treble! The big advantage of this particular instrument is, that it has more than enough air ( seven fold big bellows )! I also have 48 key F-tenors, but they are smaller than normal 56-key tenor trebles and lack air for chord-work... This certainly is a unique instrument for a F-tenor connisseur;-) It could easily be changed to 56-key tenor treble - but in my opinion it would be a shame... I'm asking 4000€...

Another hint: 8" across the ends... The ledger suggests that it is a model 20a ( extended baritone ) - which it isn't!!

I'm selling another rare instrument from my collection. This time you will have to guess what it is. Only those who know my preferences might come close...

I'm fine to sell the Amboyna piccolo - the problem is that I paid far to much! It came from the private collection of a wellknown dealer and was done up again by Steve Dickinson... I was told that someone offered 4 EE TT Aeolas for it, and he wouldn't part...

I do have possibly the finest and rarest piccolo concertina or even concertina for sale: an Amboyna-ended 48 key Aeola piccolo with gold-keys and gold-stamped bellows! It was restored twice, by Wim Wacker and Steve Dickinson and is in perfect condition in a perfect leather-box. You can see and hear her at the end of this video.

It used to be mine. I only let it go, because I'm dissolving my collection. Many years ago I decided that I needed a ME 56 key TT für the collection. In my opinion Concertinas and Aeolas with the serial-numbers 31xxx are by far the best!? So I drove to Chris Algar's place and tried out a dozen of ME Aeola TTs. Finally I picked this on... I understand that the new owner had the ends replated, so it must be in as good as new condition... The seller also bought my 56 key Amboyna TT Aeola, which was done up by Steve Dickinson. It is of course a 31xxx instrument and simply the best you can get...

Very nice instrument!!

What is the serial number?

Black Monday-offer: 10.000€ for the lot!
