Rob G - your Black Dot looks bigger than mine. Does "Deluxe" mean it has more than 2 voices?
<a href="http://www.rogermillington.com/steam/BlackBlackDot.jpg" target="_blank">Here's a shot of mine.</a> Many similar stains and dents. But the swastikas show up better than on yours! It's unusual in two respects - it's black, and it's been retuned to C#/D. I got it as a backup/travel box from a repairer in NE England named <a href="http://www.theboxplace.co.uk/" target="_blank">Theo Gibb</a>, who's a very good fellow to know if you're in that part of the world.
I was thinking of selling it a while back but friends urged me to keep it for its looks - like a classic Remington portable typewriter, one said.
For my main squeeze I recently graduated from a Saltarelle Irish Bouëbe - great box, once it was broken in - to <a href="http://www.rogermillington.com/steam/Selly_2.jpg" target="_blank">this here yoke.</a> A very well engineered piece of machinery. Twelve basses - liberation! Three MMM voices - heaven.

"Of a certain age." Theo Gibb said it was probably from the 1970s. (Like a lot of sexy creatures.)Ro3b wrote:Whoa, that's a sexy Hohner. How old is it?
<chuckle> Mine was tuned dry. The sound could do with a bit of humidifying for my taste but it does sound very much like Josephine Marsh's box....wet enough to interfere with tv reception.

Hmm, well the picturte hoster I use doesn't allow me to post a pic here, but if you follow the link

you should see a picture of my 6-year old niece Amy holding my Castagnari Lilly. She got the shoulder strap over the wrong shoulder, but I don't think it made much difference to her playing.

Now the site is requiring at least 100 characters in this box. It would have been nice to know that bit of information before I hit submit the first time!

The concertina on the cover of this brochure has a good chance of being my concertina's twin brother. According to the Wheatstone ledgers 2 were made at the same time. I don't think mine is the one in the picture because it was probably sold before the brochure came out.

My concertina looks exactly like that one, but of course a little older!
Edited to add apostrophe......
And agian for grammar.....
