Jeffries Or Wheatstone Button Lay Out

[Dave Weinstein]

Dave can you give us details of your Tedrow's layout. Sound very interesting, and i am still at the stage where I may experiment with my layout. Altho yours is evidently a G/D, I'd still be interested.

Sure. It is a G/D, with the D row "dropped" an octave (so it is a 4th below the G, rather than being a 5th above), and with layout changes in the G and D rows (and a custom accidental row) designed to maximize the number of notes in G and D which have an alternate fingering.

 

The layout is:

 

B2/A2  G#3/F3 Bb3/D#3 C#3/D3 C4/D#4        C#4/D4  E4/F4  G#4/Bb4   C5/D5   D#5/F5
G2/C3  E3/F#3 G3/A3   B3/C4  D4/E4         G4/F#4  B4/A4  D5/C5     G5/E5   B5/A5
F#2/B2 A2/C#3 D3/E3   F#3/G3 A3/B3         D4/C#4  F#4/E4 A4/G4     D5/B4   F#5/C#5
                             D2/D2

Or in ABC:


B,,/A,,  G#,/F,  Bb,/D#,  C#,/D, C/D#           C#/D    E/F    G#/Bb     c/d     d#/f
G,,/C,   E,/F#,  G,/A,    B,/C   D/E            G/F#    B/A    d/c       g/e     b/a
F#,,/B,, A,,/C#, D,/E,    F#,/G, A,/B,          D/C#    F#/E   A/G       d/B     f#/c#
                                 D,,/D,,
