sympathy Posted June 12, 2005 Posted June 12, 2005 I was given this beauty as a basket case by Geoff Wooff about 20 years ago when he still lived in Australia. Peter (Stormy) Hyde rebuilt it perfectly over a couple of years and made a new seven fold bellows. It's steel reeded and plays beautifull and I have gigged and recorded with it. The serial number is 19815 (putting it somewhere around 1873 I think) Any more info available?

Geoff Wooff is an old friend of mine. He now lives in Co. Clare, outside Miltown Malbay, only half an hour's drive away from me. Edited June 12, 2005 by Stephen Chambers
