Twas mine, This is a video of my 30 button Dipper Anglo. It is a Celebrated Acoustic Band model, G/D Number 163. Now with a new owner. Mike

Looks like a Jones.

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
