I'd appreciate some wisdom from the forum please.
There's a Trichord II, 12 bass on Trademe (NZ's ebay equivalent) at present, with a start equivalent to GBP150. I've seen comments in the past that the 2-voice Trichord is not so desirable as the 3-voice, and that some of the 12 button basses came out with melodeon tuning. (I have asked the vendor about this, and I think they are most likely unisonoric). The instrument appears to be in reasonable nick, but I suspect the vendor is a second-hand store, so that might just be Lemon Pledge.
I've already got a Double-Ray Deluxe with 12 basses, yet to be mastered, so I'm wondering what advantage there would be to adding the C# row, and losing a treble voice. I have a nascent interest in Manx music which seems to use C, F, Bb, Eb, Ab, and G a lot, with a few side trips into D and A. Would it be worth going down the rabbit hole for this box?
Thanks
