Adela Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hello, I'm new to both the world of playing the concertina and this forum. After having played on a borrowed 20-button Anglo (Amigo, made in Czechoslovakia), I would like to shift to a 48-button English. Which is next to impossible in the Czech Republic (what an irony, isn't it?). What am I looking for? English 48-button concertina playable state (does not to be heavenly, but should be decent) price max. £900 a carrying box is an adventage brand? I was recommended Lachenal, but cannot judge myself, really. There's a hook - I'm not living in the UK, so it might be complicated to come and have a look at the instrument (an say hello) in person, so I would like to kindly ask for some details (pictures, a video if possible) with your possible bids. Covering the shipment fee is a matter of course. Final note- I'm in Scotland 15/9-22/9. Would there be an offer from the north, it might be feasible to make a face to face meeting. Or if you fancy a "business" trip to Prague? :-) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicx66 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Did you see the most recent post? It looks to be a very good Lachenal http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=19780 and close to your price point. Notice the action is the higher quality Lachenal action. I believe the only better Lachenal action would have been the very rare riveted ones. Edited August 15, 2017 by nicx66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
