The only figure I could find on the web was Lachenal 4802 on CraneConcertina.com - "6.5 inches" across the hexagonal ends. Éamonn C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveP Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) My own Lachenal 48-button is also 6.5 inches across. I always imagined that the 55s were slightly larger, but I could be wrong. Edited January 6, 2009 by SteveP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Steve, the "6.5 inches" I was quoting was in fact a 48 button. I'm wondering roughly what size a 55 b is.

Marien Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'm wondering roughly what size a 55 b is. Please note, I am not the seller and I don´t know the instrument sold on ebay. In fact, until now I´ve never seen another 55b Crane Duet in real life but my own. My 55b Crane lachenal is exactly 17 cm across flats. it's 6.7 inch, slightly more then 6.5 though. If you open it up, the reed pan is fully stuffed with reeds. It should be possible (but quite a puzzle) to make a smaller one with the same reeds, I really doubt if smaller Cranes with the same number of buttons exist.

Marien Hello Marien I am the happy bunny who picked up the 55 button Crane on ebay. I am currently waiting for it to arrive in Australia. I am upgrading from a 48 button Crane Lachenal. I will let you know how it goes when it arrives. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
