Stephen Selby Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I have acquired a Lachenal McCann Duet concertina from the 1890s. The oval paper insert with the maker's name has been replaced by an oval brass badge, engraved with: "J. Thomas. Concertina Soloist. March 4 1896." Has anybody heard of him?

Dowright Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I have the following information: No. 729 46-key Maccann Duet; metal fretwork; metal buttons; 6-fold bellows; J. Thomas, concertina soloist, March 4, 1896. Given the serial number (729), I estimate that it was manufactured in about 1890, and the personal badge was added later. Of course, Mr. Thomas may well have had more that one Lachenal Maccann duet. Is yours the No. 729? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Selby Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Yes. That's my one. Just bought it on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
