JimLucas Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 any trebles available for swapsies Jim? I'm afraid everything else is on hold while I try to work out something non-concertina. Â If you still have it a couple of months from now, I'll hope I might be able to arrange something. But in the meantime I'll wish you luck in selling it to someone who will appreciate it.

swisspeter Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Do you have pictures of the instrument? I have two vintage trebles and I might want to swap one of them for a tenor or baritone. I haven't played any concertina lately, but more harmonica. So I could use a baritone (or maybe tenor) concertina to play simultaneously, but my trebles are not of much use to me at the moment.

scoopet Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 will attempt some photos this weekend...could you describe your trebles please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3838 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 its got 35 buttons , if anyone's interested!! Â You've got exactly what I have. It's transposing instrument. Laid out around the key of F maj. 5 tones down from Treble. Not a Baritone, which is 8 tones down. A little odd if you want to play with others, unless you want to just learn to play it as is. I use it as Treble that sounds 5 tones deeper. In this instance range is good enough for 90% of any type of music and if you play violin or flute arrangements, it doesn't have that annoying shrill of Treble. Very manly voice. The quality is outstanding. I wouldn't call it "very large" but it definitely wants to be played seated. If it's like mine, look and feel is awesome. Sound is very good. Give us a photo and sound, my site with examples is down at the moment. But if you want, I can record something and post. It may help you.

scoopet Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 I meant that the reeds are "very large".....the concertina itself is slightly bigger than my baritone The b flats are are in the outside rows, not the middle ones? Like you say they are great quality instruments, and I played it for a couple of months non stop..transposing music down ,so that it fit into the 35 button layout.It makes an amazing sound....maybe I should keep it!!!!

conzertino Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi, I might be interested in your tenor. I have a fine 48 key Aeola F-Tenor and I love to play it! But I could probably do with a second one... What kind of money are you looking for? Chris Algar recently put a box just like this one on ebay ( unrestored ), which didn't sell for 800!?! Juliette and I will attend this year's concertinas@Witney. Will you be there? Could we see you on the way? Please send pm!
