An advert for this instrument has just appeared on Concertina groups of Facebook, posted by one - Kunder Lemison His fb profile reveals no information about him at all & he is not a member here. The fact that this hasn't been posted on the Duet Concertina page on facebook makes me rather suspicious, which is why I am drawing your attention to it. https://www.facebook.com/groups/irishconcertina/permalink/7511743768845262/ Cheers, Dick
