Ebony-ended baritone-treble Aeola at auction

[conzertino]

A nice looking EE 64-key BT model 16 is coming up at auction.

A couple of years ago two similar BTs fetched a lot of money at another auction.

Nice and rare instrument from a good period anyway...

This was the box of the late John (Jack) Eaglesham of the highly influential Scottish folk group The Clutha (eg Topic Records). It therefore carries some additional cultural significance.

If it's the layout 'Non-transposed' that good for me

Think of  it  as a 56  Tenor Treble  with  an  extra  row  of  low notes.  These  64key  Baritone /Trebles  are  quite  large at 220mm  across  and  with  the  8  fold  bellows  you  will  never  run out  of  air.

I  prefer the  smaller  56 key  version  (  at  200mm across)  with  only  a   very few  of  the  highest  notes missing.

 

Keyboard  is non- transposed  but  shifted  forward  ( away  from  the  player)  hence the  extra long  little  finger plate.

It went for £3600 (+ fees so around £4850 total).

 

I wonder if anyone on here bought it.
