This is a Wheatstone 12-Key Miniature English. It has been fitted with new pads and valves, and tuned to concert pitch (A=440hz).

This is a nice later-period Wheatstone miniature. The central rows are a scale of G, and it is a responsive player with a bright tone. The bellows do allow single-note playing, but it becomes a much easier instrument played with a tremelo style (each note played with the bellows moving back and forth). A unique collector’s item.
