Ledger information

[John Adey]

Please can someone with a more comprehensive knowledge of the Wheatstone ledgers tell me if the production ledgers ever stated the tonic range of an instrument with 56 keys? The instrument I'm researching is listed as '56 keys' with no indication of whether it was made as a tenor/treble or an extended treble.

 

Thanks

John,

Often the ledgers have a model # on the left side of the page. Using the period Wheatstone pricelists available at concertina.com will often let you determine the range of an instrument specific to the model #.

 

After a while the 11s, 17s, 19As, and #22s become automatic descriptions.

 

Good luck,

 

Greg

Greg,

 

Many thanks. That's given me the information I wanted.
