English tenor wanted

[Little John]

Does anyone have a high quality English tenor concertina they would be willing to sell me?

 

I'm looking to replace my Wheatstone baritone. I acquired it by chance rather than design. Given that my other English is a bass there's more overlap than is sensible; I can play both at the same pitch but to move up an octave on the baritone means a change of fingering. A tenor would complement the bass perfectly - same fingering but sounding an octave higher.

 

Happy to consider a swap or part-exchange, but I'm not parting with the baritone until I find a suitable tenor.

Thanks Mike. I think I need a 42 - 48 key instrument to give me a useful range.

 

Cheers,

Thanks for the offer Mark. I'm really after a Tenor to match the fingering of my bass.

Yes, with middle C aligned with the top of the thumb strap.

I have three 48-key Aeola tenors for sale, on ME, one EE one Amboyna...

Did you find what you wanted? I have a Crabb 48 key tenor that might fit your bill.

Read your PM but now can't find it again(!)

However the middle C on my Crabb doesn't align with the top of the thumb strap. Good luck with Jay.....

[John Wild]

Des, does this image match your Crabb tenor?

The note aligned with the thumb strap is the F below middle C.

However, it is a standard tenor, not what is often referred to as an F tenor, where notes have been moved from the standard pattern.

Do you mean aligned with the centre of the thumb strap? So the button aligned with the top of the thumb strap is middle C?

Yes - sorry. Re-reading the post I replied to, I realise there is a difference. My apologies.
