Jake Middleton-Metcalfe Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Hello I am trying to find out what exact notes are used on C/G and G/D anglos in the wheatstone layout in A4=440hz. To be specific, I know what the notes arein so far as what is shown on the below layouts in the links I have posted but not what exact notes they are... say the low C on a C/G, is that a C4 at 261.63? or could it be C3 at 130.81hz? Could someone direct me to a source online that would have this infomation for all of the notes. GD: http://www.concertina.info/tina.faq/images/g_d_30_wheatstone.jpg CG: http://www.concertina.info/tina.faq/images/c_g_30_wheatstone.jpg I would check a concertina against my strobe tuner but I currently dont own a concertina. That is the root of why I need to know this, I am ordering reeds, to make said concertina. I am actually already making one with plans to make another, I will post some pictures on these projects soon as the first is almost done.

Chris Ghent Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Jake, Not the easy answer you might want but this chart http://www.suttnerconcertinas.com/images/key_layout_wheat_31.gif from Jurgen Suttner's site shows the notes for a C/G on a stave. If you transpose them all down a fourth you will have your answer. Edited April 7, 2015 by Chris Ghent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Middleton-Metcalfe Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Lester, yeah I found that site, pretty helpful. Chris. Thanks very much. I can derive all I need from that. I would have been posting a thread on here with the project and its progress but its a university project for my final year of my course and I have been a bit stressed with it. I will do a post showing what I have made soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 If you are ordering reeds from Italuan makers then you need to know about the system they use to identify pitches. In this system Middle C is number 15 and the numbers increase by one for each semitone higher pitch, so C# is 16 D 17 etc, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Crabb Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Bit late but this may be of interest. Geoffrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Middleton-Metcalfe Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Geoffrey, haha! That has everything I could possibly ever need! Very helpful as always. The chart is easy to understand and shows frequencies for pretty much any tuning anyone would want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
