Duet Button Geography


Recommended Posts

I'm wondering how one goes about identifying a duet concertina. Can it be done based on the

layout of the buttons? I recently looked at a 34 button that had a row of 5 buttons in

the upper row, and below two rows of 6 buttons on each row. The ownder identified it

as an 'anglo', but he doesn't play - so coudn't swear to it.

Or simplest way

Different noises push and pull: Anglo.

4 vertical columns of keys English

5 etc...Crane or Triumph (same thing)

6 etc... Wheatstone duet or Maccan if you must.

Great arcs of notes, says Jeffries on it and is usually being offered at a stupid price by the seller who has worked out the name is worth money to some; Jeffries.

and the outside chance: Great arcs of notes and obviously relatively new: Hayden

 

Easy.

 

Top or bottom rows may be missing a note or two to confuse you but it's always pretty clear.
