Yep. I still lust for one of those, MIke!

I've ventured into Chemnitzer and it's really just a large Anglo with some Jeffries duet elements thrown in. Another set of fingerngs to learn but, depending on the box, not that hard to play. The big multi-stop ones get pretty heavy but so do big accordions. Compared to the english boxes, they come pretty cheap over here. I'd say, buy it and try it out. It's not a life-long committment.

I'm with Gary on voting for the key of C!

And the one in the picture has flat ends, I believe, while the one in Alex's shop has raised ends. Still, quite a large beastie to be sure.

Kapek now sold. Contribution to c.net. Thanks!

The Geuns was sold late last year, not on c.net.

I still have the kapek. Or an Arno Arnold in C.

Actually, I do still have the Kapek.

cjakes8 - I have a oouple that would be good starters. Where are you located?

If I had the extra money it would go well in my square concertina corner.

I have a 35, 42, 48, 57 and 66. I still want an 80!

I'd never assume to be an authority but this appears to be a small Chemnitzer-type box, given the 3-row layout shown in the picture. For the same price or little more you can get an actual Chemnitzer or Bandoneon of good German lineage.

StevenTx, mainly for fooling around with. Brass is a different sound to steel.

Back when I first started playing, in addition to a Morse Baritone and a Jack, I had a brass-reeded Lachinal. Does anyone have a brass reeded EC that they'd be willing to part with for hot a princely sum? Kind regards, Rod

Bob Tedrow has one of his Baritones on consignment, as well.
