Hello All
          Years ago I bought a 56 botton wheatsone in Cork that was in the old pitch and took it to Harry Crabb in Islington to tune it up. He did a great job on it. I played anglo first in Wales and then started working on English. They both have such great uses I think its wonderful to do both. I use an Anglo Crabb in D/A and an older bastari in G/C and have a 48 buton English wheatstone Metel End. Im not great on any of them but love the music they make. I used the Crabb at christmas time with Lui Collens and was hard pressed to keep the volume proper to be back up not overtop !
      I would try a duet if I had another 20 years and $3000.00 . All the best to all here. I love the botton box for helping out at any rate. !! . Guy
