Can anyone point me in the direction of some sort of chart of the inner workings of the concertina, specifically an Anglo? (Don't know if there are differences?)
I recently acquired a lovingly-used Edgley C/G Anglo and have decided to put my Rochelle to an honorable "scientific" use and dissect it to see how they work. Bonus points if I can put it back together again! It would be helpful to know what all the bits are called, though. Charts, photos, YouTube videos...any suggestions?
Thanks!

Has this sold or is it still available?

Gosh, I didn't mean to worry folks about destroying an instrument - on the contrary, my intent was to look inside and learn (keys and reeds only - not the bellows), see how it works, then reassemble it, if possible, for continued use. I only meant to indicate that I wouldn't do that to a more expensive instrument. You all have pursuaded me to keep the Rochelle intact.
For now, I will continue reading and learning without opening it up!
But I really am interested in learning more about the inner workings. Thanks, Don, for the thread on looking inside the Jack/Jackie/Rochelle - that's fascinating!
And I will check out David Elliott's book, also - thank you for the recommendation.
