Josh Birch Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Hi, folks, Though I've thoroughly enjoyed my latest foray into the duet world, I'm facing the fact that what I really want to be playing is my English. Maybe someday I'll regret it, but for the moment I would prefer this beautiful instrument to be in the hands of someone who will really play it. This is a a gorgeous, top-condition 72-key MacCann Wheatstone Aeola, built in 1925 according to the Wheatstone ledgers. Everything about it is exquisite as you'd expect it to be in an Aeola of this period. The case is also in quite good condition, though I probably wouldn't hold it up by the handle for very long. I'd like to ask USD$5000 for it, plus shipping from the western US. Please let me know if you have any questions or are interested! If it sells here, I'll of course make a suitable contribution to C.net. Cheers, Josh
Dirge Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Maybe someday I'll regret it Someday you'll regret it... What a shame; sorry Josh I feel a bit responsible for talking you into it.
saguaro_squeezer Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Josh, that's a beauty! What's its compass on each side?
Dirge Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Josh, that's a beauty! What's its compass on each side? Down to F on the left and Bb on the right unless it's a special.
Josh Birch Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Down to F on the left and Bb on the right unless it's a special. Exactly, it's a standard model: F2 to C5 on the left, and Bb3 to C7 on the right. No need to feel bad, Dirge, I'm the one who keeps getting myself into this duet business. And it *was* the right instrument -- it was 100% perfect. Just not the right player.
Daniel Hersh Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 No need to feel bad, Dirge, I'm the one who keeps getting myself into this duet business. Well, I was hoping you would stay in it - I was looking forward to having someone else learning duet around here. Good luck with your sale!
Josh Birch Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Hi, all! In case anyone is looking for a large MacCann, I thought I'd mention that this is still available... -Josh
ceemonster Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 would you rather be playing your EC because....? i'm curious because i'm swinging back and forth between unisonoric concertina possibilities....both ec and duet look intriguing, but....
