Stephen Chambers Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 ... the bushing boards are held in with rivets or tacks, not screws as I've seen before ... Wheatstone's didn't start to do that with the bushing boards until the mid 1930s, so the instrument was probably worked on by them in later years. Sounds like it should be a good one...

JimLucas Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I remember Mike Stand, always falling over at the wrong moment. Comes from trying to hold too many drinks, I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekR Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I was just looking at that wonderous beast in admiration, and she-who-must-be-obeyed asked me why I wanted a "bigger one" She obviously does not understand the man's way of thinking at a statement like that!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dunk Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 Here we go again but this time it's a Lachenal. There should be a law against hanging a concertina up by it's strap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterT Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 There should be a law against hanging a concertina up by it's strap! Maybe it should be a hanging offence! Perhaps that's a bit harsh; maybe confiscation for a first offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
