PLEASE note: I had to relist as eBay removed the listings due to PayPal commission related issues. I decided to relist in such a manner so that the orignal end date and time are approximately the same as before.

I play a 40-key Crabb just a couple of years older than this - a lovely instrument. And of course it's what John K plays. I'll be interested to see what it goes for.

Me too. I have a 1987 built 40 key Crabb with 8 fold bellows and brass reed shoes, but otherwise identical.
Incredibly powerful and great dynamics.

Would you want to make a speculation how high this concertina may go for?

I am interested in this concertina but am not going to mortgage the house or sell my first born.

Do these modern 40 key Crabbs tend to be Jeffries layout or Wheatstone layout ?
Thanks,Robin

I asked the seller. This one has a Wheatstone layout.

Does anybody know what happened?

LISTING REMOVED????

Hello Ben
See my earlier posting - I have relisted. Don't go for the crab in the restaurant as yet. It might just be the amount you need to outbid the highest bidder right at the end. Regards. Vic

Sold. 3672 GBP. Congratulations, Vic.
