You can see the Jedcertina label in the last e-bay picture.

Here are some pictures of my 28 button Louis Lachenal. Available if anybody wants to buy it.

It's the one he bought on e-bay last week.

I bought this concertina because it had my Christian name initial in the fretwork. I have not found out who the maker was yet. Suggestions welcome.

I need that label in my Barnett Samuel.

Did you see Henrik Mullers buttons made out of Rotring pencil caps with wooden inserts.

This is my 5'' 20 key with B S & S in the fretwork (Barnett Samuel and Sons)

Some interesting concertinas on e-bay this week. There is a 20 button Jones that must have solid gold reeds and levers for £3,000, A restored Edeophone English and a 20 button Tidder.

I have just returned from a holiday abroad and received the sad news that David Leese passed away earlier last week. A good friend and an excellent concertina restorer. He will be sadly missed. Mike

For a Mahogany ended (Brass Reed) Lachenal ! ! !

Here are some pictures of my 20 button metal ended Lachanel. Number 171428. Mike

It looks to me like a mahogany-ended budget model, not rosewood-ended.

Good afternoon Neil, It's very near yours, No. 2178. Mike

Here is a picture of an early Lachenal of mine with black accidentals.
