Bubo Posted December 1, 2017 I've really enjoyed looking at everyone else's instruments! One of my favorite pastimes is searching for pictures of beautiful squeezeboxes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukmanohnz Posted April 8 A member asked me some questions about my new Minstrel, so I thought I would post a few photos of it in case others were interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The concertina is all original except for the bellows and straps, which are from Wim Wakker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find the shiny (original) looks are reflecting the character of this (apparently not so much played) instrument. It has a well-balanced but distinct voice - not a screamer like my model 24 but very capable of fast playing in the treble range and adding „bass“ notes ad lib., maybe with potential for even more... (I chose it over a slightly later model with more closed fretwork, with very lovely low notes but too muffled in the treble range to my taste) After having denied the need and extra value of a TT to myself for years I‘m very happy to be able to expand my playing in this direction now - however switching back to the light, fast and „screaming“ 24 ET from time to time is nevertheless appealing to me, as well as perfectly manageable.
