English Lachenal #42054 is dated by Chris Algar around 1906. #59113 around 1925.
51228 must be somewhere in the 1910's.

Mentioned by Cocusflute in a thread in General Concertina Discussion.
No tags in this one for "Concertina" or "Nial Vallely", so it isn't easily found on YouTube.
Hence once more in Concertina Videos & Music.......

Could you give me the inside dimensions?
270(L) X 230(W) X 160(D) mm. It's quite a good box, excellent for the money - but I might have been less pleased if I'd paid the full price!
Hobgoblin's site says:
Internal dimensions:# width: 26cm x 19cm# depth: 22.5cm -

On C.Net recorded Tunes Link page Danny Chapman (Ratface) posted Tunes for Louise. It's a zip file full of recordings.
From the enclosed text file :
"Note (for anyone that isn't Louise Lundberg): Most of these tunes I recorded for Louise to give her some ideas on how to play more than one note at a time on the English concertina. I've recorded some others as well... " -

Rereading the topic "The Different Types of English" I found another variable that can determine the difference between the Tenor and the Tenor-Treble: the position of the keys in relation to the thumb-strap.
In that topic Jim explained the difference between the Baritone and the Baritone-Treble:
- A baritone which sounds an octave lower for the same fingering as the treble is simply a "baritone".
- A baritone on which notes in the treble range have the same fingering as on the treble but which continues the pattern of the English keyboard downward into the baritone range is called a "baritone-treble", "baritone" at the beginning to indicate the low end of the range, but followed by "treble" to indicate that the fingering in the treble range remains unchanged. (And for the same geometrical patttern of buttons on the two sides, such an instrument extends down to F at the bottom, rather than G.)
So on a Baritone-treble is the position of middle C, like on a Treble, in line with the middle of the left-hand thumb strap.
On a Baritone is that the position for C below middle C.
A 48K treble extended down to Baritone-range needs 14 extra keys at the lower end. So a standard Baritone-Treble has 62 keys.
I suppose, that a 56K BT has its keys in the same position as the 62K BT, but omitting the highest 6 keys.
And according to the wheatstone-pricelist-1935 a 64K BT is extended at the lower end with 2 keys to F (that's what Jim is referring at in the quote above)
My assumption for the Tenor(-Treble):
As the Baritone is a octave lower then the Treble, the Tenor is a fifth lower.
The Tenor-Treble has its middle C in the middle of the left-hand thumb strap, just like the Treble, and is extended down to C below middle C. That needs 8 keys, what makes a "standard" Tenor-Treble a 56K instrument.
A "true" Tenor with 48 keys, has its F below middle C in the middle of the left-hand thumb strap, where the Treble has its middle C.
On a 48 key TT is the position of the keys like on the 56K TT, but omitting the higher 8 keys.
So in comparison with a 48K "true" Tenor, on a 48K TT all the keys are shifted one position to lower end.
The 48K Tenor-Treble from the start of the topic, is, according to the Horniman ledgers a model 6E. According to the wheatstone-pricelist-1956 is model 6E a 48K TT.
On the picture of the left-hand side you can see, that the keys in comparison with a 48K Treble are shifted one position to the low side: next to the middle of the thumb strap are not F# and F, but C# and C.
This makes me believe that the discriminating difference between a Tenor and Tenor-Treble (as between a Baritone and a Baritone-Treble) is the position of the middle C key in relation to the thumb strap.
What do you think?

- A baritone which sounds an octave lower for the same fingering as the treble is simply a "baritone".

The ledger states the model is a 6E
A look at this link http://www.concertina.com/pricelists/wheat...t-All-c1956.pdf will reveal that a 6E is indeed a 48 key tenor-treble.
Steve
Steve,
Thanks for this; I stand corrected.
However, the range should still be from C, not from E.
John
I'm still puzzled about model 6E, the 48 key tenor-treble:
What's the difference between a tenor and a 48 key tenor-treble?
Is a tenor in the key of F (with a Bflat in the middle rows)?

My Lachenal Non-Pareille has also a F instead of the G#, and the D# next to that is replaced by an Eb. Not so logical, but so far I never missed those G# and D#.

No easy way to fool Pandora: they check by IP address.
Dear Pandora Visitor,We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for most listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.
We believe that you are in Netherlands (your IP address appears to be 77.248.xxx.xxx).

I take that as a compliment. "Instrument one" is mine now.
I'm very excited, I could buy a New Model from this trustworthy seller for the bargain price of GBP 700.
