Chris Ghent Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Can anyone identify the wood on the side of this concertina? Is this the fabled Amboyna? Best wishes Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Jowaisas Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Chris, The amboyna Lachenal and amboyna case that I have has a much "busier" figure to it. And while I think of amboyna as having a reddish hue your example is pretty intense. The Concertina Connection seems quite fond of amboyna and is currently making instruments with an amboyna option. Perhaps an email to Wim is in order? Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Morse Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Looks like amboyna to me - though the photo appears very dark reddish brown on my monitor. Amboyna *does* come in range from yellow to golden brown to red, and most of the amboyna ended concertinas I've seen tend to be of the golden variety. This page has good examples of amboyna range. -- Rich -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Jowaisas Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) Wally Carroll uses a redwood burl on some of his instruments. Take a look at #9 (to me and other Boston baseball fans, the Ted Williams model!) in his photo gallery. http://carrollconcertinas.com/photogallery/photos.html And The Conncertina Connection has a picture of one of their amboyna instruments here: http://www.concertinaconnection.com/wakker%20english.htm Greg Edited January 26, 2007 by Greg Jowaisas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
