Peter, et al I'm just figuring out how this system (i.e., concertina.net) works. Sorry that I didn't respond yesterday. You asked about the kind of music I play on this "magnificent beast". I'm embarassed to report that I don't play it much. I learned English system first and have since found its mathematical simplicty so much easier to grok than the idiosyncratic fingering of the Jeffries duet. But the latter beast's sound is quite extraordinary! Tom Hi Tom, Welcome to the Forum, and thanks for your posting. What type of music do you play on this magnificent beast? So, looks like at least 3 Jeffries Duet players in the States. Regards, Peter.

Hi Peter Mine is a 63 button Jeffries Bros (23 Phaed St) box in B flat with no air button. I bought it about 20 years ago sight unseen at a London Sotherby's auction of Neil Wayne (I think) cast offs. (London Sotheby's sent it to Sotheby in NYC where I was then living.) About a dozen years ago I took it to the Button Box for restoration. They did a splendid job. Tom Spollen Dennis, Massachusetts, US
