***SOLD***

Left side is F# on the press/E on the draw, right side is Bb on the press/G# on the draw. I am in Dover, NH. (I never did use those buttons, but they are notes, not bird whistles or anything like that.) Attached is a scan of the layout diagram I got from Paul Groff. lachenal_concertina_button_layout1.pdf

And, upon my investigation, it is indeed the very one, and did seem to look and feel very familiar! Welcome to the "it's a small world" department! I purchased this machine directly from Paul Groff back in the day, and it is indeed as described, with the exception that Paul described it as "modified Jeffries accidental row".

Selling for a friend - Lachenal 32-button C/G anglo, modified Jeffries layout (upper right C# button on accidental row is C# push and pull), bone buttons (except metal air button). Plays nicely, sound bright and robust, very responsive, bellows airtight, well-broken in, very good condition with a few tiny wear spots on bottom commensurate with age and history. "Hot-rodded" by Paul Groff, with Dipper riveted action and Dipper bellows. I have since discovered that I did own this very machine for several years (I purchased it directly from Paul Groff, and it has had at least three owners since that time prior to finding its way back to me), and it is a really nice mid-price-range instrument for anyone wishing to learn or upgrade on a reasonably serious instrument that can take a player a long time (perhaps ever) to outgrow. (The extra two buttons play notes, not "bird whistles" or other "novelty sounds".) Includes virtually indestructible, waterproof, fitted Pelican "storm case". $3400.00 USD.

This one has been sold. Thanks!
