Geraghty Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 The seller has added a comment saying he's met with a knowledgeable concertina person and he confirms that it is a duet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 The seller has added a comment saying he's met with a knowledgeable concertina person and he confirms that it is a duet. Ah, but what kind? Doesn't look to me like either a Crane or Maccann arrangement. It would be nice to have the layout with all the notes identified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takayuki YAGI Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 And what, pray, do you lot intend to do with it if you did have it? Only of interest to novelty acts and hoarders, I reckon. Ah, I have never thought about bidding on it, but would like to see someone plays it, not hoarded. If the word "tempting" means "I am eager to have it", I misused the word. (Just "interesting" or "attractive" may be proper wording.) -- Taka(learner of English) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Weinstein Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 There are twelve buttons on it. That could be an octave and a half, or it could simply be a chromatic octave. Or some combination. Either way, I've placed my bid, and I'll either get it or I won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Weinstein Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 And it went for 1,270 pounds. Well over my bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miikae Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hammer has fallen at £1.270 so i wonder who got it in the last few seconds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) There are twelve buttons on it. That could be an octave and a half, or it could simply be a chromatic octave. Or some combination. Not quite a chromatic octave, since you'd need a 13th button to get the octave. So if it's just an octave, it could have 4 out of 5 accidentals, which would seem to match up with the button layout, though that would suggest that the accidentals are closer to the player, rather that farther away (like the black notes on a piano). Either way, I've placed my bid, and I'll either get it or I won't. Then I hope you get it, if only because I hope you'll satisfy our curiosity about the layout. Edited to add: Looks like the auction ended while I was composing this post. Well, I'm still curious. Edited March 7, 2010 by JimLucas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirge Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Grief. £1270. You could buy a 57 key that would play real music for that. Amazing, just for a curio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Levine Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I thought it would be a prime candidate to convert to an Anglo. Then you'd have more notes and it could actually be played in some situations. certainly makes a small concertina sound like a real instrument. The conversion wouldn't have been very expensive. I bet it would have sold for more money if it had been an anglo concertina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
