Iron Box Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 This ad for a 64 button Wheatstone Aeola appeared in the online classifieds of a Salt Lake City, Utah television station. Since I have not seen it listed elsewhere I contacted the owner and asked if I might mention it here, to which he enthusiastically agreed. www.ksl.com/?nid=218&ad=38422538&cat=&lpid=&search=concertina&ad_cid=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason the images weren't scrolling for me earlier, so I didn't realize it was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pierceall Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 That's an interesting page in the ledgers, with a number of high-end instruments with tortoise-shell, amboyna, gold fittings, extended range - even a Crane duet and a Piccolo.

Here: Yes, indeed! There seem to be a few pages like that... e.g., this one. I'm particularly curious as to whether that Crane still exists. If I read it rightly, it's "tortoiseshell", with 56 buttons, and at 9½" is the same size as my 56-button Aeola bass English. So I'm guessing that it's an octave lower than a standard Crane. And I wonder what sort of music it was used for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzertino Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'm lucky to own no 31363 from that page, a tort 56-key TT in absolute mint condition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conzertino Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 That's interesting! Both that tort TT and my tort BT ( no 33236 ) have alloy reed-frames. My tort treble ( no 31205 ) has brass frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
