Old Pitch...

Whilst drooling over concertinas on the net I saw this one :

and in the description "It is in old pitch like almost every unrestored concertina ".

 

 

Which got me thinking what is old pitch and why do anything about it?

Like many other topics, you can read about old pitch in a A fine article by Wes Williams in the "classic" part of concertina.net. It is worth poking around there.

 

Whether to retune such boxes is an old controversy (esp. in the case of heirlooms like Jeffries). There were some good discussions of it on the old bbs...so I believe they predate this system, but our tireless veterans can undoubtedly review all these points for you. (I am too worn out from chasing spam right now <_< )
