accordian Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 hello. i'm looking for a duet concertina with 12 sides and around 60 or more notes with some lower notes and a decent range eg. right hand starting from middle c and left being lower. not looking to spend millions. send me a message if you think you got something i'd be interested in. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious as to why you consider the number of sides to be important. That would seem to limit you to Lachenal Edeophones and exclude not only all Wheatstones and Crabbs, but even Lachenal New Models, which in my experience are quite as good as Edeophones.

rcr27 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Unlucky, 2 edeophones duet 63 keys got sold recently on ebay uk, I got one of them but I don’t plan to sell it, however keep an eye on ebay and auction houses. Duets are getting so popular nowadays which is good. The big Æolas are quite common as well. You might wanna contact the dealers, they should have something.

Nothing to offer at the present time. The one that I have which "comes close" to your desires is a New Model which needs work and which I have no desire to part with. Good luck to you.

Lofty Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Whereabouts do you live? I have a 69 button (plus air) ebony ended Aeola for sale. The right hand starts from the G below middle C. in my view, this is preferable as it provides a better usable range before getting into the squeaky high notes that don’t fit the McCann pattern. The left hand goes from a low F to the C above middle C. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
