This is a Wheatstone Pinhole Aeola 56-Key Extended-Treble with steel reeds. It has had new ends, been fitted with new pads, bellows, valves and straps, and been tuned to concert pitch (A=440hz). (Serial number 22853).
The Wheatstone Pinhole Aeola was Wheatstone’s first attempt at a really premium instrument, with the name later being given to their 8-sided, raised-ended model instead. The unique minimal fretwork gives the Pinhole Aeola a very unique, mellow tone, but it is combined with a lovely Wheatstone action and a very nice set of steel reeds. This concertina has been through a thorough restoration, and not only looks great, but plays fantastically- responsive with a beautiful soft tone. It also has 6-fold bellows, which is a big advantage as Pinhole Aeolas weren’t made with these as standard.
A lovely sounding and looking concertina.
