malcolm clapp Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Anglo? English? Looks more like a Maccann duet to me....
Anglogeezer Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Anglo? English? Looks more like a Maccann duet to me.... A duet, mmm, I did wonder but thought that those of you more knowledgable than myself would make an appropriate correction! Jake Edit : Of course!!! We're looking at the right-hand end and there's NO air button!! Edited December 3, 2015 by Anglogeezer
JimLucas Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Anglo? English? Looks more like a Maccann duet to me.... Definitely a Maccann. The note names stamped into the button tops confirm that. With 20 buttons on the right hand (smaller reeds) end, I presume this is a 35-button Maccann.
Anglogeezer Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 The hammer price was £220 !!! Jake
StuartEstell Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I'd say that's probably about right. I know there are a few devotees of the very small Maccanns but personally I don't think they're terribly useful instruments.
