Little John Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Here it is, then, Alex Holden's number 10! It's everything you would expect from Alex: beautifully crafted, gorgeous to look at and wonderful to play. He's just posted a blog about making it, which includes a video compilation of some tunes and an explanation of the layout. You can see it here.

wunks Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 It's beautiful L.J. what's it measure across the flats? I'm looking for a 6"parts box to shoe-horn in a d-core Jeff duet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim2010 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 A beautiful looking and sounding instrument. But the real treat for me is your wonderful playing. Thank you for for making the video. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The size reference in the title alludes to its having the note range of a 48 button English baritone in a box the size of a standard treble.

Geoff Wooff Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 It is very encouraging to see new made concertinas, especially of the old duet keyboards. This one looks and sounds great. Congratulations all round. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syncopepper Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 As a thirty-five year EC player I learned a lot about the duet from your great video! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to hear! I started on the English about 40 years ago before I'd heard of duets. The Crane is similar in some respects to the English which made it the natural choice when I changed over.
