Thank you, Caroline. It is in excellent condition, exactly as described. The sound is perfect as best as I can tell. I have never played one before so I have a lot of learning to do! Thankfully there are so many resources on the internet and I have a few tutorials, finger charts and the book "The Concertina" by Frank Butler, should be a big help. So many keys! My wife really surprised me with this, the seller couriered it to Vancouver next day and in time for Christmas.

my wife bought me, from ebay, a Lachenal & Co Rosewood 48 key English 'tina. Serial # 85884, beautiful sound, can't believe she did it!!! ...told her that I had always wanted to learn one, now I have to!!!!

My wife bought this one for me on ebay, had it in Vancouver the next day, excellent condition and sound, all I have to do now is learn to play it. Yes it was expensive but we are happy with it. No, I have never played one before but always wanted to learn, now I have to! I spent most of Christmas day researching concertina forums and looking for on line help. Found it.
