The instrument is a Wheatstone Model 5a treble from 1918, restored by me several years ago including new bellows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoopet Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I remember a couple of videos you did with a baritone treble.Do you not miss the lower notes then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. I felt I could write arrangements that fit well into the range of a treble without the added weight of a bigger box. It is a bit of a trade-off like many choices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
