david robertson Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Yes, I know it's unusual, but no, it isn't a mistake. This very rare combination of keys is how it was made, and how all the reeds are stamped. I'm told that it might be quite useful for anyone who likes to play along with Irish pipes, but I also find it a lovely choice for song accompaniment. It has had my usual comprehensive restoration, including new 7-fold bellows, straps, pads, valves, bushes etc. I have stripped and French polished the woodwork, and although the ends look as if they have been replated, in fact they have simply been re-polished by my ace metal finishing man... thanks, Kevin! It is tuned to modern concert pitch, and plays as a Jeffries should - fast, bright, brash and fearsomely loud. If you're within a gnat's crotchet of Norwich, you're more than welcome to come and have a squeeze, or if you have a question, just call me on 044 (0)1603 702644 or drop me a message via this site.
