Dirge Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 'The concert grand' Wheatstone Aeola Maccan, 71 key, dural reed frames and ends; the main instrument. 'The pub piano' Wheatstone Maccan, 56key, metal buttons, rosewood ends, rather loud. (I keep threatening to trade it in for an 81 but it's nice to play.) That's it, after a successful reduction plan. Nice and focussed. I may have to get an 81 key one day, I could use the bass notes; but that's it. Oh and I've the end plates off another 71 aeola and dream about scratch building enough of it to send off to be made into a midi. One day....

Hooves Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 so many players, so many boxes! My arsenal: Lachenal Crane Duet 48K, ~1920 Lachenal McCaan Duet 46K, ~ 1930 Unkown German Anglo C/G 20K (the imitation English fretwork style), unknown date Castagnari Giordy Button accordion: 2007 With all 4 of these boxes I can make a merry noise, though my focus and study is now on my Crane, it ousted the MaCcaan as my favorite box, but it still ranks #2, with Giordy coming in 3rd.

Takayuki YAGI Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) do you have any serial numbers for the lachenals? randall is trying to collect 'em! I do. Lachenal C/G 22 key mahogany #185877 Lachenal G/D ( originally Ab/Eb ) 30 key mahogany #155862 If memory serves me correctly, my Lachenal (Murdoch) C/G 30 key have different serial numbers in left and right reed pans. ( Merged from 2 instruments ?? ) I would not like to open this one frequently. So I remember to check serials when I open it next time. .. Sorry, who is randall ? Just curious, the collected serials are open somewhere? Regards, Taka Edited October 22, 2007 by Takayuki YAGI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooves Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) Ah, the difference is between expensive and valuable. To most reading this forum a musical instrument that is one is expected to be the other. To the typical thief deciding what to carry off, these two qualities may not be the same. Dan Madden I agree: thieves usaully want somethign they can turn over quickly and easily with as little questions as possible. Musical instruments can raise an eyebrow. I live in California: people will get in your car for spare change they see on the seat! (edited to be less verbose...)

asdormire Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 However your real threat is a knowledable thief: I go to a local music store, the turn over of employees at this store is high (new face evreytime I go), they keep a database of customers, well, in the data base I bought 2 mic stands, implies I have 2 mics (which I do), which further indicates I have a PA or recording equipment, pre-amps etc. To me, that is a bad situation, not paranoid about it, but lets face it, an equipment summary and an address not to far away, that makes things real easy. Part of the reason we use a post office box instead of the household address--it is hard to steal an instrument out of the PO box. When your instruments are pretty much all your wordly wealth, you do what you can to protect them. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
