Bob Snope Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 This 30-key, G/D Anglo is an instrument I assembled at The Squeezebox Garage from R. Morse & Co stock that I inherited when The Button Box closed its doors in the spring of 2023. While it is essentially a “Ceili” model, I have made several modifications which I believe are improvements over the original design. I have used Antonelli “tipo a mano” reeds and added grill cloth under the fretwork. Most significantly, I have added gasket material under the reeds and used screws to hold them in place. This eliminates the need for wax and makes it easier to access the reeds should a problem occur. The instrument has a 6-fold, all-leather bellows, riveted action, Wheatstone fingering, and comes with a fitted, hard case. Price is $2950. This is a unique, “one-off” instrument. If you have questions, feel free to contact me at repair@squeezeboxgarage.com. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leah Velleman Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (Out of curiosity: what do you use to attach the grill cloth to the inside of the fretwork? I'm looking to make the same mod to one of mine and a bit baffled by the range of glues and so on.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Snope Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 Hello Leah, I use either hot hide glue or a white PVA. Both are water soluble so they can be easily removed if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
