Thanks Chris, will do. Appreciated. Thanks Jim, it's been way too long.

Hi everyone, hopeing someone can help me. I picked up my late 1920s Lachenal Anglo concertina for the first time in a long time, only to find that the A note on the bottom row of the right side is only a squeak and the bellows are very stiff and pulled want to be pulled much at all (and I certainly haven't tried to force it). My concertina has always been stored in a hard case, and I'm working if some fluff or cat hair has still managed to find it way in there. I do have David Elliot's Concertina Maintenance manual but to be completely honest I'm really reluctant to open up my concertina a

Withdrawn from Sale. Cheers

This concertina is still for sale. Cheer

Thanks Jim for your help, no Sean I haven't sold it yet. Will reply to your message

Hello again, Morgana. I recall you as the inititator of some of the most interesting threads on the forum several years back, including of course your series of interviews (5 questions) with concertina notables. Welcome back. Thanks Stephen, good to be here No more interviews but my portfolio of concertina shots is slowly growing

Better to neglect guitar and harps in favour of the Concertina than for no reason... Can't argue with that

Over the years l have played piano, guitar (acoustic and electric), Irish Harp, Cello, Trumpet, flute (tried and failed) before at last finding Anglo Concertina. Still have my guitar and harps, but they are sadly neglected. I've just come back to the Concertina after some years absence.

I started playing concertina is 2003 until approx 2008 when life took me in other directions. I have recently come back to it (and this forum I started on a Stagi, moving onto a Norman l picked up in Cork the same year on my first big OS trip . My current concertina is a 1927 Lachanel Anglo l bought from Andy's Norman in 2005 and l love it. (Side note: attending the Arran Concertina Event in 2005 was definitely a highlight. Anyone still here that attended?

For Sale: A P James Miniature Anglo Concertina in G and custom wooden box. Execellent condition, hardly ever played. You can see photos on the AP James website here. Price AUD$990 [aprrox GBP657] plus postage* [*Item currently located in Melbourne, Australia. Postage dependent on location.] Selling because it rarely gets played and deserves a good home.

I was running around yesterday in Prahran [Melbourne Australia] yesterday and spotted a Lachenal 20 button Anglo for sale at the Prahran Bazaar for just under AUD $600. It looked like it was in reasonable condition although I have no idea of it's playing condition or the serial number as it was locked in a glass display cabinet. If anyone is interested, drop me a note and I'll send you more details on where exactly in the store it was [the Prahran Bazaar is huge]. Hope this helps regards Morgana

This conertina has been sold. Kind regards Morgana

Edit: This concertina is no longer available. Kind regards Morgana

Neither. I just have more instruments than I can devote time to, and this beautiful instrument deserves to be played. Kind regard Morgana

UPDATE: This lovely mini has been sold elsewhere, and is no longer available. Cheers. ------------------------- I bought this a lovely little concertina new in April 2006. Although it's lots of fun, with two other full-size concertinas, this little one has only been played a couple of times, and just doesn't get the attention it deserves. *Italian steel reeds in 'G' *Stainless steel ends/action/levers *7 fold Bellows made with individual card pieces *Measures 92mm across the flats *Birch ply protective box included *Maker's selling price £600 GBP (AUD$1500) My selling price: AUD$1350
