Mike Acott Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Acott Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 I believe the engraving was done by a French based co called Busson , Geoff crabb may be able to confirm this. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4to5to6 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Acott Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 across the flats is 93/4" Regards. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
