I have:

 

Wheatstone 57-key Maccann Duet, old pitch, will be put in concert pitch and refurbed some time in future. I find the expanded range of this so useful I have not since touched my:

 

Lachenal 46-key Maccann Duet, concert pitch, 1920s, refurbed and improved, for sale when I get around to it (I did once post the serial number on this forum, but I can't find the post any more)

 

Also:

piano - Yamaha U1

 

treble recorder

 

shakuhachi - possibly the most difficult instrument on the planet even to get a note out of

 

voice - the instrument I play most, and the only one I am sufficiently accomplished in for public performance

I have a 61 key Wheatstone Maccann Duet 1912 (which I love to bits).

61 key Lachenal Edeophone Maccann Duet 190? (which I love too, but not as much as the one above).

46 key Wheatstone Maccann Duet 190? (which was my first box).

 

I think Duets are the best thing since sliced bread. I was an Anglo player until I saw the light :lol:

I find something new about them every day - a fascinating instrument.

I didn't. Could you explain it for me please?

I'm just guessing that the name 'randall' in post #87 means Randall C. Merris who is one of the contributing authors of Concertina Library.

It's difficult for us Japanese too ! :)

One C/G Stagi for the Boat

 

Reminds me of someone (probably looks in here, so I'd better "watch my P's and Q's") I met in Halifax NS who had a Morse Ceili C/G, er, "for the beach". Must have too much money...

I got my albion baritone about 3 weeks ago. I can say it is a very fine instrument. I was surprised at its build quality, it has a presence about it. This is the only concertina I have ever touched, but i can say it oozes some kind of timeless soul, or something. I'm starting to get her up and running.

A Lachenal Crane duet, which has proved more tuneful, in the few weeks I have owned it, than the English which I had before. My brain just wasn't wired up for lefthand-right-hand-lefthand-righthand way of playing melodies. The duet just seems to make more sense.

30 button Tedrow Barritone

30 button standard Lachenal

D/G (1981) both are beautiful tinas.

Said 'tina didn't just spend the weekend in Bampton, did it? Or do a brief exchange with a Dipper-restored Jeffries?

 

Chris

 

No Chris

 

Didn't make Bampton this year..tho you might have seen me there with the tinas in previous years.
