I am selling this instrument on behalf of an elderly relative who has had to go into a nursing home, and who has been too unwell to play it very much at all since it was bought for him a year or two ago. Although I have been a bit of a musician in the past, I know nothing about this type of instrument, but I have tested it and can confirm that it has a lovely tone, that the bellows are completely sound, and that every button works. Each button produces two notes, one as air enters the instrument, and one as air is expelled - i.e. one on pulling the bellows out, and one when pushing the bellows in. I was told by my elderly relative that this particular instrument produces the dual keys of C and G, which is apparently quite unusual. However, a well-informed potential buyer has told me how to check the tuning, and I can now confirm that it is, in fact, in the keys of D and G, which I understand is ideal for English country music, morris dancing, etc. This instrument also has "accidentals" on the two end buttons. A brand-new example would cost around £300, but this one is offered with a relatively low starting price and a realistic reserve which reflects the fact that it is in almost "as new" condition. My informant tells me, however, that the name should be "Popula r" and that the final 'R' has been broken off; on closer inspection read more
