cassqueeze Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 A few years ago I bought a Jones perfect Anglo from Chris Algar, and then had a very good restoration job done by David Robertson. The result - a beautiful, sweet-toned instrument ideal for singing. I find I rarely use it however and I'm thinking of selling it. It's basically a C/G instrument with extra buttons so that all notes over a 2 octave range are available on both push and pull, and therefore it is relatively easy to play in any key - giving the flexibility of the duet or English with the action of the anglo. The scales for D, E,F, A & Bb are quite logical & not difficult to remember. Can anyone advise as to what kind of price I should be asking - bearing in mind that ebay prices seem to have been a bot depressed of late?

teepee Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Do you have a button layout? Some photos could help as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidesqueeze Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 That's a strange arrangement of buttons! Has anyone seen this arrangement before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hersh Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Has anyone seen this arrangement before? This is the Jones "Perfect Anglo-German" layout as described here by Stephen Chambers. Can anyone advise as to what kind of price I should be asking - bearing in mind that ebay prices seem to have been a bot depressed of late? I don't think that these come to market often enough for there to be a "standard" price. How much you can get will depend on who's looking for one of these right now. You might want to ask Chris Algar if he'd be interested - it's possible that he's got a buyer who's looking for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
