Wheatstone Linota Anglo 30 button C/G concertina, serial number 25431. Beautifully refurbished with new pads, button sleeves, wrist straps, etc., and tuned about 6-7 years ago at the Button Box; has hardly been played (unfortunately) since then. Bellows are tight. Hard-sided case included. Shipping & insurance to be paid by buyer. $3,500

Suttner English 48 button, serial number 215. I am this instrument's second owner, and I played it a lot until about 8 years ago when it became too heavy for my aging, arthritic thumbs. Overall excellent condition. Bellows are tight. Hard-sided case included. Shipping and insurance to be paid by buyer. $4,800.

For Sale: Lachenal New Model 56-key extended treble English concertina. Raised metal ends set into wood, short touch (for fast playing) silver-capped metal keys, airtight 5-fold bellows, and bowing valves on either end (to let air in or out of bellows). Serial number is 32326, dating presumably from the 1890’s. This concertina is a great player with bright tone and rapid articulation. I purchased it from Joel Cowan 25 years ago, and had complete maintenance work done on it during November 2004 at the Button Box. This work included tuning; replacement of pads, valves, and bushings as needed; and other minor repairs. The Button Box’s appraisal of the instrument’s condition was excellent. Asking price: US$2,400, plus shipping from Helena, Montana, USA. Please email me for additional information
