Mavis Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Hello, I just bought an Crabb 'English' concertina. It has 40 buttons, but no 'air' button. The ends are metal, with fairly simple fretwork. Someone suggested it may be a student model. Could someone please tell what year it was made, and by whom. The number stamped into the metal is 18087. I will attempt to add 2 photos. Mavis.

Stephen Chambers Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Don't forget, your posts have all been in the middle of the night in the UK Mavis, and most people only log-in occasionally. Have patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
