Takayuki YAGI Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 .. Sorry, who is randall ? I got it, sorry again for my ignorance, Mr rmerris ...

Ivan Viehoff Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 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
david ayres Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 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 I find something new about them every day - a fascinating instrument. David.
Takayuki YAGI Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 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. shakuhachi - possibly the most difficult instrument on the planet even to get a note out of It's difficult for us Japanese too !
Guest Old Leaky Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) When your instruments are pretty much all your wordly wealth, you do what you can to protect them. Alan Er, my original response to this survey may be taking it a bit too far! Edited October 23, 2007 by Old Leaky
Guest Old Leaky Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) 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... Edited October 23, 2007 by Old Leaky
smoothfool Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 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.
SteveP Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 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.
Michael Eskin Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 I have three: Edgley 30-key C-G Anglo Carroll #13 30-key C-G Anglo Wakker 30-key MIDI Anglo
