JimLucas Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Jeffries Bros Duet 50 button with C core How much retuning was done? E.g., was it a C core originally, or retuned from another key? If C core originally, did you put it into equal tempered? Etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolm clapp Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 It was C core when I first saw it, but cannot recall if this was original by stamps on the reed shoes. I think it was. Instrument is in equal temp A:440 pitch. with new pads and valves supplied by Colin Dipper. So as a historic record, fairly worthless, but as a playing instrument.......wow!

Chris Timson Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 will shortly be going on eBay with a A$3,000 reserve. From some earlier correspondence we had, I gathered that your acquaintance wanted to keep a little control over the choice of final purchaser, for similar reasons to Alan Turnbull's. Wouldn't she do better to do as he did, and offer it for sale here? She'd avoid eBay charges as well. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolm clapp Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I think the asking price could deter would be cannibals Also, should it be sold from posts on this thread, I'm sure a suitable donation will be made...... I have replied to Chris off list to comment further on his points. Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
