cassqueeze Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 If it's like my Crabb Crane duet it will have a beautiful sweet tone, ideal for song accompaniment, but less suitable for loud music. I'll be interested to see what this goes for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 It's here on ebay. Looks very good indeed. Looks lovely. And me with no budget. Ah well, it's not like I don't have an instrument to play. I wish the seller would say what the ranges of the two sides are. There are a few reasonable possibilities, based on the layout of the buttons: The lowest note in the right hand could be middle C, or it could be the G below that. The lowest note in the left hand could be an octave below middle C, or the G below that, but possibly (though less likely) even the C two octaves below middle C. The above assumes that the instrument is pitched in C, not in Bb or some other key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marien Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 My kind of Crabb I think, can anybody help me with some cash? Besides, I tried to put up a bid of 2 cents and it has been refused as I am not in England, and the seller explicitely does not want to ship overseas.

Cheapskate. If you promise to reimburse me in case I win the auction, I'll stick a 50p bid on it on your behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's only the shipping that's the problem, and not that the seller doesn't want the instrument to leave England, I would point out that by traveling on a discount airline it could be cheaper for you to fetch the instrument in person than insured shipping, and then the seller would be spared all the troubles of packing and shipping. ... If you win the auction, that is. Easyjet flies to England from Amsterdam. Ryanair flies to England from Eindhoven. There may be others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveP Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 The layout is certainly a bit of a mystery - is Geoff Crabb around to give us any clues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveP Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 ...and it's vanished. Did someone make him an offer he couldn't refuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
