conzertino Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 There are two nice 46-key Wheatstone MacCanns at ebay.com right now: This one and this one. Would they be Linotas? Pity again that I don't play duet...
richard Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Hello I thought that the name Linota was specifically reserved for Wheatstone's Anglos.? Richard
Ivan Viehoff Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Not very tempting really. They are typical 46-key Maccans of typical Wheatstone quality, which means better than the basic Lachenals, but not special quality. They don't fetch special prices because 46-key Maccans are in over supply. The wooden ended one sold for over $810. We were not told if it is in concert pitch, or when it was last revalved and repadded, so assuming the worst on all that, then that is it is a fair price, not a bargain. Of course if it turns out that it needs no work, then it was a bargain. Personally I'd prefer to know than to gamble. The same is true of the metal ended one, and since he has put an absurd minimum bid of $2000 on it, it will remain unsold. The only 46-key Maccann that makes such a price is a rare Aeola.
