nkgibbs Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Happy 2017 to all C.netters, This Lachenal (?) has just been sold on ebay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Old-Cocertina-LACHENAL-In-Wooden-Box-/152388426167?nma=true&si=n%252BcKsOx5KpzUEWst3CrTEVxzZnc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557) I would be interested to hear your views as to whether it really is a Lachenal.......or maybe an early Wheatstone or maybe something different altogether?

Stephen Chambers Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I can't say for sure, but my money's on it being an early Scates at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Chambers Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Stephen, You sound as if you might know much more in a few days?! No, I wasn't suggesting I'd bought this one, I was merely expressing a note of caution in case evidence to the contrary came along. But I do have an instrument with the same fretwork that is stamped J.SCATES internally, and numbered 44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkgibbs Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 It would be interesting to hear if any C.net member has bought this instrument? Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes williams Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Maybe a red herring, but for me the most striking thing was that the grain on the box lid doesn't run parallel to the handle, which I've never noticed before. Can anybody make any more observations on box top grain direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
