jdms Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 What's this likely to be (besides a 34-button Anglo that might be missing the pad from one of the thumb-actuated buttons on the left side)? I think I see riveted action through the fretwork, so presumably it's not a Lachenal. Could it be a Jones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 That's a very standard model of Jones, described in his catalogues as: Thirty-four Keys: the extra four produce imitation of bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy, bird, and chanticleer. This instrument is made with the greatest care, of the best materials, G.S. studs ... £5 5 0 (Chanticleer is an old name for a cock, or rooster.)

Theo Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 German Silver, the button material. Usually called nickel silver these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdms Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Thanks, Stephen (and Theo). Question out of pure curiosity: is it possible to replace the noisemakers with regular reeds, or can their chambers not be adapted for such a use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
