Jack Bradshaw Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) Just wondering....any ideas about changing a chemnitzer layout to Anglo ( G/D based )...mine is a 38 key. Has anyone done this in the past ?? Edited September 6, 2007 by Jack Bradshaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolm clapp Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Thought about it. If it has individual reed pairs, could work out OK, but if it's long plate reeds you would probably have to have new plates made at enormous cost. I'm pretty happy with the right hand side of my standard Chemnitzer keyboard for playing in A, G and D, in fact I was even considering changing a couple of the notes on my 40 key Crabb to similar fingering positions. It is the left hand side where I would like a little more similarity to the anglo. One day when I have time to work on my own instruments rather than everyone else's....
