mike byrne Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 [ quote=Stephen Chambers,Jul 21 2005, 12:37 PM] I just looked it up in the ledgers and found that it was originally bought by a Mrs. Wayne. It wasn't signed "Neil" by any chance ? Mind you, it was on 2nd October 1843, and I don't think he's that old ! Neil Wayne couldn't resist Mrs. Waynes concertina. It now resides in Belper.

Stephen Chambers Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Neil Wayne couldn't resist Mrs. Waynes concertina. It now resides in Belper.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pleased to hear it, I just hope he didn't have to pay anything like the exorbitant price the antique dealer had it ticketed at. But knowing Neil. he probably didn't ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilary Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Knowing the antique dealers in Ely, the price was probably hiked for the festival. I've bought 2 slightly dodge east german (complete with rose-patterned wall-paper trim) anglos (C/G and D/A flat-ish) from one of the dealers that cost £20 each and convinced me that I really could get a tune out of them! Next time I'm in town I'll see if the Wheatstone is still available and what the 'normal' price is. Shame I didn't know you were in Ely Festival, Robin - I'd have got you a pint. I was with the morris men outside the beer tent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
