david robertson Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm offering this newly restored TT here for a week or two before it has to take its chances on eBay. Restoration has included new pads, valves, dampers and bushes, and new thumb and wrist straps. The woodwork has been stripped and French polished, the bellows have been re-bound, and the instrument has been tuned to modern concert pitch. It's loud and quick, even down at the bottom end. Finally, it comes with its original, though somewhat battered case. Top maker, top model, top period - what's not to like? If you're within reach of Norwich, do come and have a squeeze. Otherwise, please ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. I'm asking £3750. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fistone Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Is this instrument still or sale? Who was the manufacturer? Fistone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirge Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Is this instrument still or sale? Who was the manufacturer? Fistone An old concertina with 8 sides? It's an Aeola which is an absolutely tip-top Wheatstone. The best they made, and if you ask me they made the best full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david robertson Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 It's still sitting on the shelf here. My old friend Sarah Morgan came to visit a couple of weeks ago, and was deeply smitten with it. I always thought it would be a cracking player, and hearing it in her hands confirmed it. (I abuse an Anglo rather than play the English.) However, I realise that in these straitened times, we all have to adjust our expectations a bit, so I'm now offering it at the Spring Sale price of £3500. If there's anything else I can tell you about it, please ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fistone Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Thanks for the update. I shall have a long hard think and let you know if I pay Norwich a visit to try it out. This assumes you don't sell in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
