Ivan Viehoff Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I presume the seller's note that he is "unfamiliar with this kind of instrument" was an attempt to discourage questions. But someone already asked a question and got a polite and useful response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malcolmbebb Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I was almost beginning to think he might have changed his ways - but the auction was pulled, no longer available. More of a leopard than a panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirge Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 He seems to have immediately relisted it. The 39 button duet he's selling is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Molkentin Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Yes.. well... perhaps they are... there are different types of Walnut and some do look a bit like this. This may very well be so. But his instrument does not at all look like having walnut ends but rather basic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann-p Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 The Wheatstone has walnut ends, see the ledgers. He seems to have made quite a few in walnut around that time. Must have got a batch in then. This is the geezer who doesn't like publishing the serial nos, used to claim it was confidential for security reasons! I still have the old listings saved so can see them any time! My husband is a cabinet maker and says it's very difficult to tell what the wood on the Lachenal is, one end looks like rosewood, but the photos have clearly been taken at different times (background's different), can't really see the other end. The photo on the original listing shows the end with the number and doesn't look like walnut or rosewood. He needs the wood in his hand to be 100% certain. Did quite fancy having the Maccann to do some messing about on (non musical fiddling!) so might put in a bid. This might prompt it being pulled again! I don't think anyone will end up having either of these instruments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
