The owner of the pretty Wheatstone Aeola at the top of this page made this plexiglass (perspex) case for it.

In response to Lachenal's Edeophone, Wheatstone's produced top of the line instruments named Aeolas. Like this example, they were usually octagonal. Metal, wood, and tortoise shell were used for the ends. |

After two world wars, the old makers declined or disappeared. The Wheatstone name was taken over by Boosey and Hawkes, a music publisher and maker of student instruments. They made some rather nasty concertinas with aluminum ends and accordion reeds. This example is rather better, although the tortoise-shell is probably faux. You might need to get shoes and handbag to match the red leather! |

Umm, In case of fire break glass? So you can admire your Aeola even
in its case? So you don't forget what's in the box?
