Large crane duets

[Mike Acott]

Has anyone tried to find out how many 80 key Crane duets there are out in the wide world,made by the main makers in the  first half of the last centuy. I would really like to know !

At the other end of the spectrum it would be interesting to know how many 42 button Cranes were made. A 42 is quite a good size - significantly more useful than a 35 and yet those seem to be much more common.

so my beautiful (and not exactly smallish) 61b Crabb appears to be right in the middle of the spectrum 🤩

"Middle" in terms of button count, but I suspect both the mode and the median are likely to be 48 buttons. I wouldn't like to guess at the mean!

I have a 35, 42, 48, 57 and 66.  I still want an 80!
