Ed Ebel Posted April 1 Posted April 1 Wheatstone concertina For Sale: Wheatstone English Treble Concertina. 60-key, extended treble model. Serial Number 22862 (between 1898 and 1901). 6-fold bellows, with optional wrist straps. Purchased from The Button Box January 2, 2020. Hardly played...I'm an Anglo player and never got the hang of the English. I can provide original receipt from The Button Box. Includes hard case. Bellows is tight, no leaks. Can post youtube video of sound on request. Instrument is in the Gettysburg area. Will give primary consideration to people in the DC/Philly/NY/Boston areas who can play it in person. (Can provide reference from someone who recently purchased a Jeffries Anglo traveling from Boston.). Asking $3,400, which is what I paid Button Box, as per receipt. Thanks
Matt Heumann Posted April 1 Posted April 1 Out of curiosity, are the extra 4 note above the usual 56 extended or below?
Ed Ebel Posted April 2 Author Posted April 2 I don't know...what would they be if they were the usual? Also, the highest reed was removed in favor of an "iar" button. That reed was included with the instrument and can be replaced. Tell me the notes I am looking for and I will check. Thanks!
Ed Ebel Posted April 2 Author Posted April 2 Sorry...I was just waking up..."In favor or an 'air' button"
Ed Ebel Posted April 2 Author Posted April 2 For what it's worth, I have good friends in Angola Indiana and could post the instrument to them if you don't mind the 90 minute drive.

Wolf Molkentin Posted April 2 Posted April 2 6 hours ago, Ed Ebel said: I don't know...what would they be if they were the usual? the lowest note of a treble (or 56 extended treble) EC would be a G on the RHS (or possibly an extra F or F# in place of either the G# or the Ab if modified that way) best wishes - 🐺
Ed Ebel Posted April 2 Author Posted April 2 The lowest note RHS is indeed a G...specifically the G below middle C
Wolf Molkentin Posted April 2 Posted April 2 (edited) ok - this confirms that the „extension“ is entirely at the top end - as to be expected Edited April 2 by Wolf Molkentin
