Pete Dunk Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Is this a Wiki duet concertina? I've not seen a MacCann with less than 46 buttons and it does have six rows (sort of) but it does look kind of odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirge Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Jeffries layout Lachenal? Surely not? I thought Anglo but he clearly states that it plays the same note both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen a MacCann with less than 46 buttons and it does have six rows (sort of) but it does look kind of odd. This is really weird. The keyboard layout is that for a 40 key Lachenal (Wheatstone) Anglo, yet the vendor says it is the same note in either direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked him if he was quite sure about the same note both ways, and he said no, his wife did it! But "someone who knows more about them" is looking at it on Wednesday - I'm guessing it will be a scout for Chris Algar! My money's on a 40-key Anglo and a tone-deaf wife.

Ivan Viehoff Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I've not seen a MacCann with less than 46 buttons and it does have six rows (sort of) but it does look kind of odd. 39-key Maccanns are fairly common. This is not one, although the seller now says it is. 39-key Maccanns are the lowest of the low, but that concertina looks rather nice. If it is a duet, it is quite unique. It must be an Anglo.

Dirge Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Good odds also given that if it is not currently an Anglo it soon will be...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took it off and relisted as an anglo - and he's got a little greedy! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VINTAGE-LACHENAL-ANG...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Drinkwater Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I see that he has now relisted it as an Anglo at a starting bid of £2000. Someone's seen the concertina, identified it and told him that because it is an anglo, it's worth megabucks. No bargain here, I am afraid.
