Hallamtrads Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 I'm in the market for a MacCann duet of 55 + keys size. If anyone out there is feeling the need to part with such an item I'd really like to hear from them.

Have you contacted maccannic regarding his recent thread: OK, it's time to sell my first concertina: 64-key Maccann duet Cheers, Dick

Ideally I'd like to acquire a 55 or 57 key. Thanks anyway.

JimLucas Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Ideally I'd like to acquire a 55 or 57 key. And you're aware that on a 55-key the low note in the right hand will almost certainly be G above middle C, yes?

I think what I'm really saying is that I need a 57 key. I think we'd sussed that Paul. Some below 57/58 key Maccanns which have been modified and have the middle C, and octave crossover do exist though, so it's probably worth checking out.
Nick Hart Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 I've got a 55 key Lachenal that i could be tempted to part with. It's a real beauty, wooden ends but very bright and chirpy. I now play a 67 Chidley system (uniform maccann) and it's a bit of a faff switching between the two (slightly different) systems, so it's probably time to let it go. The bottom note on the right hand side is a G I'm afraid, but you can always play over both sides (if it's good enough for the anglo players...). I'll put up some photos tomorrow. Could even try and post a sound sample if that helps. Are you by any chance a Davenport? Nick

Yes, I'm the senior Davenport, have we met? cheers, Paul

Good luck with the 57 key, and let me know if you want any more info on my one. Nick
Ptarmigan Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Paul, have you considered joining the Maccann-Mccann Concertina Players forum & posting your request over there? Cheers, Dick
Hallamtrads Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 Paul, have you considered joining the Maccann-Mccann Concertina Players forum & posting your request over there? Cheers, Dick That's a great idea too Dick, many thanks for the kind thoughts and support. However, of this afternoon I am the proud guardian of a Wheatstone 57 key duet. So, Christmas may now commence. best wishes, Paul
