  1. Hi everyone, Lots of interest and everyone is really helpful . . . . . . . . I still feel like a bit of an intruder, am now thinking, should I invest significant time and funds to give it a go? . . . . . don't know!! - Does anyone else struggle with all the decisions and choices? Mark
  2. Hi all, First - ceemonster - I don't know why your messages aren't getting through. Other seem to be able to message me. have you tried messaging anyone else? Thanks everyone - I'm getting more and more interested in the instrument and the feedback is really helpful and interesting - I've posted a few more pictures at this link http://savalot.co.uk/concertina/ What I think I've learned so far is that it's an english extended treble? . . . . NOTHING LIKE I FIRST DESCRIBED IT hope the pictures help. Mark
  3. Hi, I was just turning in for the night and checked the posts - what do you need to know?
  4. Hi folks, hopefully I am in the right area to advertise a concertina. I’m not actually a musician but the grandson of one! Following my grandfather’s and now, grandmother’s death, we are beginning to part with some of his possessions. I believe he played it for open air services when he was a minister, and this site seems to have members genuinely interested in the instruments and their music. It is a Lachenal Concertina. I believe it's a 56 button ‘duet'? possibly a baritone? with metal fret ends, metal buttons and it looks in nice cosmetic condition and it’s in its original case. (serial number 58874) My ignorance means I don’t know if it makes a good sound (it certainly doesn’t in my hands) - every button creates a sound although one of the buttons sticks a bit and one of the finger straps has broken. I don't know it's value so I'd be pleased to get members' input on this, or make me an offer. I have attached photos and will endeavour to answer any questions to the best of my ability.
