This is an 'English' Wheatstone 48 Button Aeola, manufactured around 1980 for the present owner. It has plated metal ends, fully fretted and 'dished' rather than flat.  The six-fold leather bellows are original and perfect.  The steel reeds speak clearly and loud, making this an excellent box for sessions, tuned to modern concert pitch A440. It has been played regularly and kept in good order, always stored and transported in the flight case shown.  Serial number is 60097, and was manufactured in Eye, Suffolk by Steve Dickinson. (Wheatstone Limited) If you wanted a new one it was a four-year waiting list and a lot of money!  I am sadly selling this as I no longer play it in sessions, so this represents a rare opportunity to own a quality musical instrument.  The starting price is set very low and I have not given a reserve price as I know what the interest will be - happy bidding and don't miss this chance for a beauty!

Postage will be £25 insured for UK mainland, £75 for USA or Australia, or if preferred you can collect it in person.
