Okay, that makes sense.

Then folding, as Ben described.

If you can play it in A, just transpose it yourself, but you'll have to get creative with the folding. I don't understand what you mean when you say "a fiddle playing the standard arrangement." Does that mean the fiddler will be playing it in A? I don't see how you can play it in one key a...

Still available. £1600.

I found a rifle case in the local fishing/hunting shop and the set fits, although the padding needs modification. It only set me back £60 but I felt a bit awkward and self-conscious buying a gun case -- "Er...it's for a musical instrument..." I'll have to cover it with bumper stickers. It'...

I don't plan on backing the car over it, or carrying it very far for that matter (it's in Bb flat -- where are you going to play it other than the rare solo gig?). But I think taking the reed in and out of the bass reg is one of those things likely to go wrong some day, so something long enough to n...

Looking for a pipes case that's long enough to hold a Bb set without dismantling the bass reg (with the sticky out bar, not the curly one). I would really rather not be arsed with the faff of taking everything apart all the time. I haven't measured the set but probably around 4ft or so. Any ideas?

I put this in the for sale section as well, but to be honest, I never look at that, even when I'm looking for things. It's a 1950s or 60s box, but rereeded with Italian reeds and refurbished in 2013 by Lars Hansen in Copenhagen. It's in perfect condition and plays beautifully. PM for photos and a vi...

Price lowered to £1800.

Updating with more information, after opening the box last night with a friend who knows what he's doing. It was refurbished and rereeded by Lars Hansen in Copenhagen in 2013 and changed from G/C to C#/D. The voices are LMM. The middle reeds are Cicarelli TAM. The low reeds are Binci. The chords are...

A wee correction. the box is 3-voice, not 4.

I inherited this accordion, believed to be from the 1960s, a couple years ago, and I've concluded that I'm unlikely to learn how to play it. It's a beautiful instrument in immaculate condition that should have an owner who plays it. It was rereeded and retuned by Theo Gibb three or four years ago. I...

Yeah, I wish I could make the one in East Durham, NY, but nevermind. Anyone ever been to this? Some tuition on the regs would not be amiss, but I also want the craic -- late night tunes and crawling into classes hungover sort of nonsense. Are there sessions at this thing as well, like at the US equi...

Sorry, I meant baritone. It was late. The middle one.

Already tried opening the reed. Didn't do anything.

As above. The rest of the notes are ok-ish. But the reed squeaks when you try to crow it as well. Any ideas, or will I have suck it up and look like a moron to my pipemaker?

FYI, you can fit a full set of concert pitch pipes in the fly fishing case.
