malcolm clapp Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Anglo? English? Looks more like a Maccann duet to me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglogeezer Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted December 3, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartEstell Posted December 11, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
