Here is an update on this amazing duet concertina . It’s now back in the Travers family, the grandchildren of the man who commissioned it from Wheatstones! One of his descendants, Martin Travers, contacted me a couple of years ago after finding posts about this concertina and his grandad in this forum . A couple of weeks ago I decided that it needs to go back to the family , as it’s part of their history .

The auctioneer says he can’t tell if it’s lis notes on one end and high on the other, as too few notes are playing !

Tennants auctioneers have. ‘Miniature concertina’ in their next musical instrument sale . They’ve old me that it’s the same note pushing and pulling, so it’s not an Anglo. The layout doesn’t look like a miniature English, so I’m pretty sure that it’s a miniature Jeffries duet concertina. just like the one that came up about 5 years ago and was ruined by then converting it to an Anglo . https://auctions.tennants.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-3051---concertina-miniature/?lot=2439093&so=0&st=Concertina&sto=0&au=14080&ef=&et=&ic=False&sd=0&pp=96&pn=1&g=1

Wes, if you can find out any more about him I’d be very interested as I now own his specially commissioned Wheatstone 68 key Jeffries duet system Aeola . It looks like the one in the photo of him .

I’m selling my 81 key McCann Wheatstone Aeola . It’s in excellent condition, recently tuned and revalved by Theo Gibb . In concert pitch and with original case . Goes down to a very low C It’s a model 41 made in 1923. It was previously owned by Donald Pullen, well known in the ICA . It used to have a Selmer microphone inside, now removed - leaving some tiny screw holes on the side. It has a custom ergonomic hand rest designed and made by Donald, it works really well. £3,600 or near offer plus post and packing . It’s in York, UK .
