Alan Day Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 A very nice looking Wheatstone Duet is coming up for auction Eastbourne Auctions early Feb This can be purchased by on line bidding. I have not viewed the instrument, this info only comes from the photo, but if it plays as well as it looks, then it should be fantastic. It may be in old concert pitch however.
