Of course, we could also discuss the size of Chamnitzers .... 52 buttons, 12" across the flats, 16" side to side ....

Depends. My 69-button Crabb was 9 3/4" across the flats and, I believe, 10 1/4" side to side. I'd wager the 72+ Maccans are bigger. Thanks Captain Obvious.

Kirstee, sent you a PM.

That was what my 69-key Crabb had. But didn't Paul McCann have a 55 that went down to that G, or below? A Connor, or a Crabb variant?

That's a beautiful instrument, Alex.

Bump, just in case someone has one or has seen one available. Kind regards, Rod

Dave, Sent you a PM.

Is there any chance that Baxter Black has anything in the book, Gary?

Having just bought a Herrington Anglo and needing learning material, I bought this book along with Gary's "Easy Anglo 1-2-3" and "Anglo Concertina in the Harmonic Style". I think that I had as much fun playing the Pirate songs on my Crane! These are the good ones, though I'd love to see "She's a Liverpool Packet" ... though I can probably make that up by myself. Thank you Gary ... I'm looking forward to your Western Songs book!

You know, Little John, I remember seeing that. Obviously a Chris Algar picture. I wonder where the mini went?

Since I've just dipped my big toe into the Anglo world, I'll certainly get the updated version!

I'd be interested in seeing a mini Crabb Crane duet, if such an animal exists.

If anyone is interested, there is a Chromatiphon that is in allgedly playable condition in Jessen, Germany. Here is the link: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/gut-erhaltenes-bandoneon/871250946-74-2366 He is asking 250 Euro. I ended up working a deal with danersen for his Bandoneon and since Stark is not true C-system, I'm deciding to pass on the Chromatiphon. Kind regards, Rod

Dan or Ceemonster, did either of you come up with a layout for a Chromatiphone? I might have a line on one. Kind regards, Rod

Hello, I'm looking for a small Wheatstone Crane. 35-key is fine, brass reeds are fine, hard case would be a plus. Kind regards, Rod
