Geoff Wooff Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Hi Steve, do you have the serial number or any idea of the period ? Many years ago ( 1973) I tried an EC made by Harry's father in the 1920's... it was an 8 sided Tenor Treble , heavy but a beautifull sound. Harry wanted £180 and that was too much for me at that time and I opted for a 1927 Wheatstone Aeola for £150..... wish I'd bought the Crabb too.

seanc Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 What is this? It looks like a Maccan on the left and a Crane on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a Crane to me on both sides, that button in the 6th column is not unusual in large Cranes. If I played Crane then I would want this instrument.

Marien Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 It looks very much like the Crabb Crane I play. The lowest note on the left hand side is a low F (the button of the rows where on the right hand side you will find the air release button).

Been into both ends now and no hint of a serial number. However, there is a Barleycorn stamp in both ends! Please see pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
