Thank you! Now I know those wrist strap are original 🙌

wow! so close to this concertina! Yous appears to have been made on October 25, 1920. And it is a 56 keys tenor-treble right? It also shares the same description S.V and W.S. Do you know what those mean? thank you!

Luckily I have a short video and I was able to measure the pitch of some notes with a digital tuner. It's in A452 just like you said. Is it a bad thing? I'm guessing it will be more trouble to change it to 440 maybe?

Thank you so much for all of your replies! Yes! I forgot to mention that. thanks It is my attention to get a copy as soon as possible! thank you! This is one of my biggest concerns. I guess I will take the shot anyway since it is such a beautiful instrument. Thank you so much for your comments! Thank you! I'll go ahead then and try to ge it restored the best I can. Did you ever saw another one with 7 fold bellows?

I got the rare opportunity to buy a Wheatstone Model 22 English Concertina here in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Thing is, I need some help since the concertina is not in good condition and there are not many people who can fix concertinas around here.Issues are the following:-It is not in A 440-Thumb straps are broken.-A couple keys don't sound when push or pullBellows are fine and look original to me. It has 7 fold bellows which is really interesting.Also, the original leather case is there.How much is worth in this condition? I would really appreciate your comments. I have added some pics below. Thank you so much! 🙌

Thank you both for your comments! Papawemba thank you for the article. I´m sending you a message.

I would really appreciate your opinions on this one. I´m looking to pick up the Anglo and I prefer vintage. 26 keys would be great since they usually are less expensive than 30 keys. Are the mahogany Lachenal steel reeds (pic) better than a Jones? Thank you!

What are your opinions on this tina? https://www.ebay.com/itm/324612301446 is it a Maccann with added thumbstrap to play like english?

Cerot thank you so much! Great review! Looks like the Rochelle 2 is a winner and big step up from the previous model. Great photos too!
-
Hi Cerot! Have you received the new Rochelle 2? Please post some pics and give us your impressions. Thank you!

Hi everyone! It´s been almost 4 or 5 years since my last post here! I´m picking up the concertina again. Last night I visited the concertina connection site and found that a Rochelle 2 is out now. There is only one picture and no videos and I haven't found any reviews here. Did anyone get one? it looks nice and considerably smaller than the old Rochelle. thanks!

Hi Bill! I´m from Buenos Aires, Argentina. You will see a lot of tango and bandoneon here. There are many traditional irish folk groups here but sadly no concertina. I´m the only one playing duet concertina that I know. I can´t understand why no one plays concertina here. You can found people playing all kind of rare instruments here but never concertina.
