Defra Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Here is my custom Dipper baritone duet with low basses. Sun actually in France What an amazing instrument. Just out of curiosity, do you have a link to any diagrams of the keyboard layouts ? Thanks, Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzertino Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I am just back from England where I picked up two Instruments from the restorers: David Robertson did a fantastic job on my Tortoiseshell TT - it looks and plays as good as new! Steve Dickinson put new super-bellows on my Amboyna piccolo-sized treble ( 5 1/2 " ! ) and revoiced her. This now is my absolute dream-instrument - loud, fast ... and so much fun to play ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Congratulations, Robert! ...and I'm looking forward to giving the piccolo a try on next year's "Friday"! Best wishes - Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqzbxr Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) After about 20 years of playing Anglo, I have finally made the switch to the English system. This is a change that I have been considering for some time. My 30-key Jeffries in G/D is gone, its replacement is a 1924 Wheatstone Model 17 treble with raised amboyna ends and gold plated buttons and hardware: Note: these photos are from The Button Box, I haven't gotten around to taking my own yet.

Wolf Molkentin Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 If your instrument plays just half as nice as it looks you will be very happy, won't you? Best wishes - Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqzbxr Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Thanks, Wolf - that's what I'm hoping! The instrument itself is in excellent condition, with a strong, sweet tone, good dynamic range, and quick action and response. I, however, am a total novice at the English system, so I will have to work hard to bring myself up to speed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Well, speed, I'd suggest you'd take your time. As for me the seemingly unevitable tendency of speeding up lets me level the ornamentations. At times they never come up as nice as in the initial, somewhat uneven playing of a tune.

Stephen Chambers Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) My concertina has 2 ends with buttons and bellows in between... That's unusual, it must be very hard to play with the buttons between the ends... Edited to add: ‘A picture is worth ten thousand words’ - old Chinese proverb.
