Robin Harrison Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Has anyone on this site ever played one ? I'd love to know how it sounds compared to an Æola. I wonder if it has anything of the "honk". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know how it sounds compared to an Æola. I wonder if it has anything of the "honk". I had a Rosewood ended version to try out for an month or so, about 30 years ago. The tone was bold, fat and fruity but the action was horrible , the four fold bellows was too heavy and a certain lack of dynamic range was off putting. Perhaps with some sympathetic revisions by someone who played the EC it could have been good. In short I passed on the opportinity to purchase it for the intention of playing in sessions.

MelBoy Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Hi C.netters! this instrument has sold for a pretty healthy price (£4800 ish), as I’m sure many will have noticed. I didn’t want to post the link below whilst the auction was in progress, although the C.net thread was there for anyone to research. ….this is the Jeffries English I previously owned, and which is now in the possession of a player and musician deserving of its merits. Judging simply by ‘my’ Jeffries English, these are instruments of outstanding quality -and yes -they have the honk! There is every chance there may be a few more out there… Mike R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
