A large opportunity

[Mike Acott]

Good Afternoon!

I am thinking  that the time might have come to part with my 80 key Crabb  Special Crane duet. It's a stunning instrument that simply isn't getting played as much as it deserves. 

The instrument has a range from C2 to C7 , with an octave overlap between the two ends. 

 

This stunner comes with its original brown leather case, with provenance included of earlier sales from Crabb, and a photograph of the maker, Henry Crabb.  This is an extraordinarily rare instrument.

 

Price on application. Serious inquiries only, please.

That engraved fretwork is gorgeous!

What a beautiful instrument. Someone will be very happy with this.

I believe the engraving was done by  a French based co called Busson , Geoff crabb may be able to confirm this.

I’m an English player but did start out on a Crane Duet.  I’m curious… what is the size (across the flats)?

 

Gorgeous engraving!
