My new Wakker Parnassus Tenor-Treble.
One mod is I substituted the D#3 for a Bb2 on the left side.

I made a 1 row melodeon at a workshop conducted by Emmanuel Pariselle about 5 years ago. Emmanuel runs melodeon construction workshops in France and UK in which he guides the building of 1 row or 2.5 row melodeons. Well worth attending one of these courses if you'd like to know how to build a melodeon - and the resultant instruments are extremely good.

Interesting thread - and thanks for posting.
I'm custodian of 2 concertinas that once played in Astley's band, the Oldham Concertina Band - a Wheatstone bass and a Lachenal New Model 56 key baritone. -

The new Wakker that I am expecting to receive some time soon will cost even more with the inclusion of the VAT on importing it, so I might not have been able to add it.
Hi Richard
Do tell us about the new Wakker when you receive it.
I received my new Wakker Parnassus TT about 4 weeks ago - it's a terrific instrument. -

1E is not an Aeola. 48 key Aeola is 4E, 56 key is 5E
Thanks - I didn't have time to look up 1950s model numbers.

The number 6 stamped into the reed pan is a workshop number - it may be possible to work back from there in the ledgers to determine the serial number.
Could this be your 'tina?

What's the range ? Above or below usual low G ?
Looks like an extended treble to me.

I once had a set of bolts made, along with corresponding receiver plates, by Wim Wakker.

Many years ago I needed an insurance valuation fairly quickly - I drove to Hobgoblin in Leeds to have this carried out. I rang ahead of time to ensure their concertina specialist would be available. I think they charged me a modest fee for the service.

Did you buy the one from ebay.com?
It appears it was bought by a leading concertina dealer.

Take a look at this
Looks like someone has grafted a 20 key Anglo onto much larger bellows.
A useful idea

Here is a list of everything that's included
These are prices today on the snapmaker website
Snapmaker 2.0 A350, enclosure and accessories €2187
accessories:
- 1x CNC platform (MDF wasteboard)
- 1x Extruder hot end kit
- 1x CNC bits
- 1x PLA filament bundle
- 1x Print sheet with double sided printing stickers
- 1x PETG filament bundle
this equates to £2001 (plus shipping) since the prices have gone up since I ordered mine.
I am asking £1968 (plus shipping)
I see from the manufacturers website the the A350 is now sold out.

Not concertina per-se, but this printer can be used for fabricating concertina parts, cutting fretwork, etc.
I'm selling a brand new, unused, Snapmaker 2.0 A350 with enclosure and loads of accessories.
Still sealed in original boxes.
Some features:
• Linear Modules
• 3D Printing Module
• Laser Cutting Module (1600mW, Built-in Camera)
• CNC Carving Module (ER11 Collet)
Here's a link to the manufacturers website.
There is a long wait for these printers (anything up to 12 months) so mine is available immediately.
It's currently located in Italy but can ship worldwide.#
I'm selling for what I paid - £1968 plus shipping.
-
I have withdrawn this from sale due to my return to Italy next week.
-
I've decided to hang on to this concertina for now.
I'll restore it and then maybe think about whether I want to sell it.
-
2E, 4E - model numbers
CP - don't know
blue arrow - instruments of same model number as previous full line
yellow arrow - workshop/assembly numbers possiblypurple arrow - serial number possibly
You can find the models to which the model numbers relate by looking at a price list from around 1965 - available on concertina.com -
I've got a bunch of new polskas I need to transcribe and start playing.

SOLD
This 'tina is now on its way to a new home. -

A few years ago I restored a rather nice rosewood ended 35 key Lachenal baritone.
I sold it soon after completing the restoration.
So yes, in answering the OP, baritones with fewer than 48 buttons do exist.
-
This is now sold.
Anyone recognise this brand of English concertina?

Definitely a Rock Chidley - one identification diagnostic are the bird's eyes cut into the fretwork.
