It is with regret that I am offering my 1922 Wheatstone Aeola Maccann duet for sale. It has Metal ends and is in superb playing condition.... more than can be said for me. The serial number is 29219. Tuned A=440hz (Equal Temperament) I got this instrument in a swap with David Gardiner (Dirge) who recorded such pièces as the Stanley arrangement of Cavallieri Rusticana by Mascagni with it ....I think that is still available somewhere on the forums here. Unfortunately just after I aquired it I had a Stroke and have since had some dificulty controling my left little finger.However I did record my 'Tune of the Month' offering for June 2013 on this instrument. Having since started playing the Hayden Duet as well, I find that playing the two keyboards is confusing... and ,so far, I am getting away with a three fingered left hand attack on the Hayden. To sum it up this Maccann is not getting the attention it deserves... When I got this instrument it was playing well but not well enough and I spent a lot of time improving things mostly by changing the valves and balancing/tuning the reeds It comes with its original leather carrying case, which is also in fine condition. It cost me 3000 euros and I offer it here for that price . I'll not post pictures here but will send them to any who contact me. email: geoffrey.wooff@wanadoo.fr Geoff.
