Yeah, that would be the one. It has seventeen bores and nine slideways. Has 
anyone made a working instrument from these drawings and is there any reed 
info anywhere for them?

Hi Bob

If you meant a nine slide shuttle (I think it has 17 bores)
then it sounds very like the drawings done by Robbie Greensitt ,
of the Musette in the Cocks collection at the pipes museum.
I have a somewhat faded copy, but you can just see the graph paper squares 
in the background.
It has a beautifully made concertina pleat bellows (pre dates concertina 
so another name may be appropriate)
which I think was not drawn.
I have made three bellows based on that, but it's a fearful lot of work!

Cheers,

Dave

  I was trawling through an old folder, stuff I downloaded and scans of
  old books when I came across a fairly complete set of drawings of a
  musette. Where I got them is lost in the mists of time however I am
  curious how good they are. They are scans of drawings drawn on graph
  paper and include both chanters and keys and a nine bore shuttle. I
  have no reed data with them and no written text. Does this sound
  familiar to anyone and if so are they tried and tested or suspect. Are
  there any other musette drawings out there? If so I would be most
  interested in them. Is the C and B book ever going to be reprinted,
  indeed is it available in any form now?





  Cheers

  Bob
