Type B Wood Key from British Vox Continental - See Photos

Made By Herrburger Brooks Ltd., Long Eaton, Nottingham

If you bid, please specify the key you need so I can complete the transaction!

Auction is for your choice of one (1) Type B used wood key from a British Vox Continental single manual.

These wood Vox organ keys are nearly impossible to find for sale individually but now offered here!

Most keys are available except for the #12 lowest B note and the highest #49 C note.  If you need the #12 B note, a B note from an upper octave should fit.

Please be aware that there are two variations in the British Continental wooden keys.  The version you have may depend on which Vox factory assembled the organ.

The keys offered here are the Type B shown in the bottom of the 4th photo where the key is 9 7/16" measuring from the end of the key top to the back edge of the black overlay as shown in the 5th photo.  If the serial number on your British Continental begins with BD, chances are your organ has the Type A keys and these will not fit although there may be exceptions.  Therefore, it is very important to carefully measure the keys on your British Continental before bidding and compare your measurements to the 4th and 5th photos to make sure you are purchasing the correct style key.  Here is more information to help you.

How to tell the wood key type on your British Vox single Continental:

1.  Remove the #1 lowest C key. If it is stamped Herrburger Brooks Ltd., Long Eaton, Nottingham in green capital letters on the key shaft, it is a Type B key.  But also measure to confirm that it matches the Type B in the 4th photo.

2.  If you see a paper label in the area of the lowest C key that says B.P.A. Ltd., LLANELLY then you have a Type A key and the ones in this auction will not fit. 

In addition, since these keys were handmade, they may not be and are not guaranteed to be a drop-in fit for your British Continental.  Minor adjustment by an experienced piano or organ technician may be needed if you do not have these skills.

If you need more than one key, I can give a discount and set up a separate auction for the specific keys needed.

Shipping in the Vox continental U.S. is included in the auction price.  Buyer to specify the key needed.
