Theo Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Wheatstone Aeola 58 key Macann duet, steel reeds, raised nickel ends, nickel buttons, eight fold bellows all in very good original condition. Serial number 32429 (1931) With original square leather case also in good condition. It is in concert pitch but tuned a tone down, so could be describes as a Bflat instrument. The reed shoe markings are consistent with it being it's original tuning. It comes with a receipt dated 1972 when it was sold for £80! Price £1450 Edited June 4, 2014 by Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting - number 2000 is also a Bb instrument owned by a member of this forum. I wonder how many of these things there are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Interesting that the Wheatstone ledger entry has no mention of it being in Bb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartEstell Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Sorry - my oversight. The instrument I referred to is Lachenal number 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
