Morse Albion baritone vs Morse Geordie baritone

[Jim2010]

I would like to thank everyone who offered information about the Morse Albion and Geordie baritones. I had a chance to try both for a few days and I purchased the Albion baritone from the Button Box. This is my second transaction with Doug Creighton and the Button Box. Both transactions have been a pleasure.

I would be interested to read the reason that you came to this conclusion.

I decided that for me, at this time, smaller, lighter, and newer (2020) outweighed additional notes, larger bellows capacity, and older (2012). I liked the sound of both, with a very slight preference for the Albion.

Whoops, sorry -- this whole time, I didn't realize that there exists an Albion baritone!  I was thinking there was only the treble.  Anyway, glad you made a choice you are happy with, Jim.

Thanks for the good wishes, bellowbelle. I've accomplished the easy part. Now I need to learn to play the instrument well. I am looking forward to it.
