Dirge Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Small at 6 3/4" across the flats but with 7 fold bellows and RH going down to middle C, so a really useful size and range, no. 3981 was fully rebuilt by Mike Acott last year for me but I did not really take to it (spoilt by a diet of aeolas!) so it's for sale for £1750. Donation to Cnet if it sells of course. It's still a bit stiff needing playing in, but ready to go and will benefit from being used regularly. It comes in a tin case made for a German thingy which does give it some pro tection. View/test run in Somerset, but don't leave it too long, it goes on ebay in a few days .

Wolf Molkentin Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hi Dirge, good to "see" you once again here (was missing your posts, discussing and sharing music etc.). Good luck with the sale, and hopefully bye just for now! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirge Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) It's in Wells; but I'm on;ly there until sunday myself.

ritonmousquetaire Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 What's the instrument's range, out of curiosity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritonmousquetaire Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Don't mind the previous post, I found a diagram. That instrument is a beauty, size-wise and number-of-keys-wise it's an ideal. I just wish the left hand could go lower; I would gladly sacrifice most of the overlap if that allowed to go a fourth lower, at G. Hope its' new proprietary will let us hear how it sounds!

gavdav Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Is this still available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirge Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hallo folks; although I still have the 'box and want to sell it, doing so would be difficult at the moment as it is still in Wells and I am back in NZ. I've decided to leave it until next year. (If anyone is really desperate you'd better email me...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavdav Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 PM sent, my terrible timing. Looks like good size and range for what I need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right I shall be back in Somerset in a week or so and would like to have another go at selling this. I have a forum member wanting to try it; she gets first go.

saguaro_squeezer Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Down to C on the Right is nice. My 55 only goes down to G and it is a bit limiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
