For all that are interested the instrument is in Scotland.
Thanks to everone so far with your comments (and offers).
I plan to give the post a little time to run to get as much feedback as possible to enable me to consider how best to proceed and will keep all interested 'in the loop'.
Regards,
Mr L

I would be interested to receive any comments.
Mr L.
I now have some photographs however cannot get them to upload to the site. Has anyone experienced similar problems and how to overcome them?
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Mr L.
Thanks for the comments and the records Richard.
Dick -it is Mr L however I obviously have keyboard issues. (perhaps explains why I cannot play the aeola)
I will look out the instrument and post some photos and any further relevant information.
It will probably be a few days as the instrument is at my mothers house however bear with me.
Mr L
I was wondering if anyone could advise on the likely value range for a used Wheatstone Aeola.
The number is 32262.
It belonged to my uncle who purchased it new and comes in the original leather case complete with sales receipt.
I believe it has nickel fluted ends.
It has not been played for years however when I last looked last year it could be played or should I say that I could get noises as I do not play. (one button did not work). At that time one of the leather straps on the case broke when I closed it as it was dry.
I have no doubt the instrument is serviceable however as I am not a player I do not have much idea of the cost to refurbish and how much it is/would be worth.
Any information you could give through this forum would be appreciated - if any further information is required I will look the instrument out and advise.
Thanks
Mr G
