hielandman Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Hello All, I have for sale two 20 Button Anglo Concertina's, one recently restored, the other just back, from Greg Jowaisas's workshop in Kentucky. They are: 20 button Lachenal concertina in C/G , steel reeds, modern concert pitch, in very good shape, serial number 178625. It was in very nice original shape, (the nicest and cleanest reeds I have ever seen on an old concertina) but I sent it to do some tuning, and has since come back from North America’s premier concertina repair man not only tuned, but with a very nice five fold JEFFRIES bellows(much nicer and sturdier that the original Lach. Bellows), with black and gold Wheatstone papers, which are very striking. It also has all new pads, valves, and hand straps. It is a nice player and is very airtight. And of course, that traditional concertina sound! $600.00 post paid in the USA, $50.00 to ship overseas. Comes with an economy gigbag. If interested, send me a PM, thanks, 20 button Crabbconcertina in C/G , steel reeds, modern concert pitch, in very good shape, serial number 37xxx(built 1937). It has bushed metal buttons, Lachenal Style fretwork, five fold bellows(airtight)Recently back from America’s premier concertina repairman ,not only tuned, but with all new pads, valves, and handstraps. Riveted action, a very fast and nice player. Though not as loud as a Lachenal, it lacks the clattering typical of many Lachenals. And of course, it has that traditional concertina sound! $650.00 USD, Postpaid in the USA, $50.00 to ship overseas. Comes with an economy gigbag. If interested, send me a PM, thanks, Don And of course, should a sale occur, the appropriate donation to this site will be made.

hielandman Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I appreciate the interest and enthusiasm, but "dibs" only counts in the form of a deposit, I'm afraid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hielandman Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hello All, I would like to notify any interested parties that the Crabb Concertina is now on hold, and not presently for sale, as I have a buyer, thanks for your interest. However, the Lachenal is still here, and anyone considering buying a 20 button instrument would not go wrong with this one, as it is in very good condition and plays and sounds rather nice! It would be a better investment for someone thinking about buying a Stagi, besides being much faster playing, louder, and having the real concertina sound. Just something to think about! Thanks , Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
