Thank you all for the information. I see several good choices.

Absolutely beautiful woodwork on those guitars...

Hi. Also a luthier by avocation, hooked on boxes. This was my solution to massive frete damage on a very old Jones 26. I used some of the old wood and removed a ton of unnecessary support "cleats" that deadend the right side. It fits my pseudonym and I figure I could always redo it with more traditional fretework if I ever want to sell it

Thank you. I'll take a look.

Thanks. Was afraid of something like that. I guess I was hoping for a repro... or? a source for used or salvage. I can re-shape the box face if necessary.

This was my solution to massive damage and material loss. I removed the heavy backing that deadend the treble end, while reusing the old repair materials.

Hi. Just swapped my old bellows out and placed the new papers. My question is this, should I "glaze" or protect the papers in some fashion?

Thank you Randy. I'm a novice anglo player(backround is violin) and easily excited. It looks to have been untouched for a good many years but I'm afraid playing it will be well over my head. I also picked up a Jones 26 at the same time, that I'll keep. May I ask your help in dating it? Serial 10210. I haven't had much luck.
Again, thank you for your time. JH

Thank you for the info. 1890s is fairly "young" for violins as well.

Thank you so much for the reply. I was guessing as much. But I'd like know who made it and when. 1514 seems a low serial number and I'm not sure how common the brass air lever is? I don't know how much restoration it would need. Sounds very good. No broken fretework, bellows hold well.

Hi Greg. I've been rebuilding, repairing, refinishing violins for years. I also play chromatic and diatonic harmonica.l have always been interested in concertinas and have had a few toys over the years. Now I've become infatuated with boxes.I aquired an old (126,129) 20 button Lachenal. The next step has become obvious.
So I'm looking for a thirty button. Doesn't have to be the top of the line. In fact, I'd rather have a redeemable "learning opportunity"
Thank you for the contact. Please let me know if you know of anything. JH
