ceemonster Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) is this the same instrument as the 2007-made hayden listed for sale used in this 2010 post? http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=11030&st=0&p=110303&hl=+wakker%20+quilted%20+maple&fromsearch=1entry110303 the w-h1 by definition has the slant? Is there a command one can use to rotate the pics for a feel for the slant angle? what is "the experiment?"

David Barnert Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 the w-h1 by definition has the slant? Is there a command one can use to rotate the pics for a feel for the slant angle? Yes: the W-H1 (H for Hayden) has the slant that Brian Hayden described in his specifications. The W-W1 (W for Wicki) has no slant, as Wicki described none. Brian once divulged his specification in this forum: 16mm between the centres of buttons along the rows 9mm between one row and the next above - to give an equal spacing of 12mm between the nearest buttons along the diagonal. The rows to slope down at an angle of 10.5 degrees towards the thumbs. Large flat top buttons are preferable. what is "the experiment?" I think he meant the experiment to see if the Hayden is the instrument for him. Apparently it lost out to a Ukulele. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danersen Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) In reply to above ... I tried to rotate the photos with no success when I uploaded them. They are oriented horizontally on my computer, but for some reason, they persist in displaying in the vertical orientation. This instrument is the Hayden style with the slanted/angled keyboard.

ceemonster Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 that's ok, one can print and turn the prints over if need be....i'm uneasy about the slant putting the outer notes higher, but it is as pretty as, well, a picture... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
