Marien Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Just curious, the seller claims this is a wheatstone. What do you think? It,s here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wheatstone-48-key-Co...%3A1|240%3A1318
Larry Stout Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 In one of the pictures you can see the label on the reed pan seen through the bellows. That label says Wheatstone.
miikae Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) At a guess i would say a Lachenal , badged and sold by Wheatstone possibly . The reed pans look a lot like my Lachenal 50382 though right down to the serial number positioning and type used. Even down to the pinkie rest screw spacings shout Lachenal to me but the more experienced will know much better than i . The half label looks right as it would have read BY HER MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT C WHEATSTONE Inventor 20 Conduit St, Regent St LONDON Mike Edited November 29, 2008 by miikae
miikae Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 On further investigation i now think that it is a Wheatstone as the reed chambers have been altered by adding what looks like cork or such like . Mike
