Re: 3-stop Eagle in G

Excellent find! How / where did you obtain? Nice looking

Re: 3-stop Eagle in G

agree, great shape. Seems I remember some of the Eagles used one large brass plate that all the reeds were mounted on, instead of individual reed plates. Is this one like this?

Re: 3-stop Eagle in G

Hey, thanks, Bud!
It doesn't look like brass, but the reeds are on plates, not individual reed blocks. Check it out.

Looks like brass reeds on a zinc plate.

Re: 3-stop Eagle in G

Busker?
I found this one during a swamp tour down on bayou Teche. It was sitting up in the crook of an old tree.......Naw, found it on Flea-bay.

Re: 3-stop Eagle in G

Cool box, love the grain painting

Those old zinc plates with brass reeds have a great sound

Re: 3-stop Eagle in G

I think so, too. The older, the better.

Re: 3-stop Eagle in G

post a vid playing it. If you're too faint hearted, get someone else to play it. Want to hear the sound.

Ha! There's only 1 or two other people in the whole city of San Diego that know how to hold a single row 10 button! I'll get something for you ASAP.
