Do you mean 1890`s? A 1980`s one would be one of Steve Dickinson`s, wouldn`t it?

 

By the way, what auction site did you see this at?

Phew, navigating in French was harder than I thought it would be, but I succeeded...

 

She doesn`t have the full compliment of buttons, but it`s a very pretty box

It does help a bit to click on the UK flag under Language at the upper right--it doesn't put everything in English (for example, it doesn't change the names of the search fields), but it's something...

I reckon this is the only way to buy a decent instrument at least you can try it out before paying a considerable sum which on ebay could disapear into the ether.Bye the Bye having moved on from the melodeon my single row is up for sale (commission to concertina.net of course) if anyone has intresested melodeon friends :one row 1980s hohner 4 stops in do/C VGC.

hello all,

 

it seems to have 37 buttons (19+18). Could it have a Treble range, from G below middle C to D(d3). ?

Hi

Steve Dickinson lists a 37 key treble on his Wheatstone site - tho it does say rosewood

Just had confirmation from the auction The N° is WHEATSTONE 60020

[s2maur]

Wow!! What a listing of early stringed instruments! I don't think that the Western Hemisphere offers this variety and quantity of antique instruments in its auction houses. If so, it wouldn't be with much frequency.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I enjoyed viewing almost every instrument offered. It was just what I needed to occupy myself during a brutally cold and icy winter day in the upper mid section of the U.S.

 

Now, back to my book and tea and maybe a little practicing on the anglo.
