The keft side is gbdfa and has a f#. The right is acegb and has a c#. Normally the f# and c# ar located in the same positions at the "outer row" making it a normal *C* instrument. You can change locations of the f and f# and call it a *G* instrument instead since you can then play it with the same fingering in G as you would use for C with a normal treble, within its 10 note range. There are exactly similar ones like you assume in *F* and they have a Bb
It has got 6 keys each side. It was made 1912 in a batch of four, according to the Wheatstone ledgers.Sorry to say I know nothing about its history apart from that.
i love this tune =)
