SteveS Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) I'm selling a Wheatstone Aeola 56 key tenor-treble, ebony ends. Serial number 30104. In terrific condition, fully restored by me about 3 years ago. Restoration included fret repairs and French polished, new thumb straps, new pads, new valves, tuned to A=440Hz, action rebuild, metalwork polished, new bushings. Plays like a dream with a super fast action and great dynamic sound and range. I'm currently in UK and the 'tina is in the UK with me. The concertina is located in Chesham, Bucks. CNet will not allow me to post more pictures - please request more pictures. No case I'm afraid - it will be securely packed in transit - or local pickup. £4000 or near offer. Reason for selling - I have a Wakker Parnassus tenor-treble. Edited August 17, 2021 by SteveS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Burgess Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hello Steve I'm definitely interested in buying this instrument. I've been looking for a high quality wooden-ended Aeola for some time, and if your description is correct, this is what you're selling. I'm based in Norway and - bitter irony - I cancelled a planned trip to England only yesterday due to ill health. I would never dream of buying an expensive concertina untried under normal circumstances - but it's a long time since normal circumstances and I'm not getting any younger... In other words, I'm prepared to take a chance and buy it untried. But first - is it still for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Steve Steve, I'm probably a bit thick (in fact, certainly), but I can't find a PM from you. Am I looking in the right place - in the "Messages" folder?

robert stewart Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Greetings Steve. What is your experience/opinion with your Parnassus concertina? You can send me a PM if you prefer (if in forum should this be a separate thread?) best wishes, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
