Baritone treble lachenal english
Wolf Molkentin replied to scoopet's topic in General Concertina Discussion
I have one too (speaking of genuine New Model baritones, they're not that rare I think) - and I can confirm it's a very rich sound... -
Since I didn't mention it for years the community might bear with me repeating myself that of course the EC is very well capable of playing "chords", or rather harmonies, in fact lots of them, so that you'd rather have to show some self-restraint in this respect.. ? Best wishes - ?

seconded.

very cool idea Geoff!

That's my view as well, Jim. Best wishes - ?

Wheatstone 48 key ebony-ended baritone Aeola for sale
Wolf Molkentin replied to conzertino's topic in Buy & Sell
that‘s how baritones usually work ? -
indeed! added a low F to all my treble ECs which are tuned to equal temperament - but would love to have the F# too - always a tough choice, same is true for the TT layout, where I opted for the B, thus lacking the Bb, hence the opposite solution. Good luck with the sale! ?

exactly what I'm doing myself Paul ? best wishes - ?

Troubadour Wicky/Hayden duet
Wolf Molkentin replied to wim wakker's topic in General Concertina Discussion
You would need reeds on fitting plates or shoes, and brass wouldn't be preferable either. Accordion reeds are being used due to their availability and cheapness. Concertina reed shoes are requiring less space, but are quite expensive because there is no mass production, for several reasons. Best wishes - ? -
The left end of a 64 button Wheatstone Aeola with leather case
Wolf Molkentin replied to Rikki's topic in Buy & Sell
the largest button count of an extended treble EC to this date was 60 to my knowledge, 64 seams a bit weird.... -
Jürgen, I can't tell from personal experience, but I seem to recall that Wim kept saying the difference would be significant. Best wishes - ?

Tuning by twanging.
Wolf Molkentin replied to paulbrennan's topic in Instrument Construction & Repair
I'm just pressing the reed shoe onto a wooden surface of the next table or desk available and get satisfying results for the digital tuner. Of course there may occur a deviation, but it's common knowledge how to handle this (feel free to ask of course). -
Troubadour Wicky/Hayden duet
Wolf Molkentin replied to wim wakker's topic in General Concertina Discussion
true for me as well, as en EC player, making a lot of sense - I always wanted to have a TT, and really love mine - but playing my trebles still delights me in a unique way -
Agreed, however I‘m the player/model not the painter/drawer here ?

Anglo E/F key: annoying click
Wolf Molkentin replied to Carola's topic in Instrument Construction & Repair
you might apply a drop of solder to firmly fix it...
