david robertson Posted March 8, 2024 Posted March 8, 2024 (edited) Here's something you don't see every day - brand new, beautifully made 8-fold bellows on an Edeophone! I bought this one from Roger Rocha of this parish about a year ago, in untouched original condition, and in pretty good order, apart from the airtight but rather shabby bellows. I thought it deserved better, so I invested the time and effort in new ones. Of course, it has had all the standard stuff done too... new pads, valves, bushes and straps, woodwork French polished and metalwork buffed up. The reeds have also been tuned to Modern Concert Pitch. (If you can see patches of orange on the ends, it's not worn plating, but simply reflections from the orange shirt I was wearing when I took the pics!) If you're looking for a big MacCann, you could be looking for quite a while before you find a better one. The asking price is £2450, and as ever, if you're within striking distance of Norwich, you're very welcome to come and have a squeeze. If you're not, get in touch anyway... I'm sure we can sort something out. Edited March 14, 2024 by david robertson Instrument now sold 3
