I'm having to clear the decks to accommodate new items so this lovely beast is again on offer.
-
The account has been inactive for over a year also which suggests possible hijack. I guess we'll see if he responds to questions. I've asked for pics of the ends.

Still available. Make an offer.

I have one like this, also for sale, (but I have not advertised it yet).
Can I ask are the first two images of the concertina reversed, i.e. from left to right, (or vice-versa).
You can tell from the handstraps that the pics are opposite ends.

I have just re-listed on ebay but prefer to sell here.
-
I have reduced the price to 995 pounds.

I just did the usual search for Musical Instruments > Concertina on US ebay and it is not showing up. You might check on this, that's a big potential market.
Ken
Edited to add: OK, if I dig with the settings it shows up, but other out-of-country instruments show up without that...beats me.
Thanks Ken. I have noticed a few times that I have to go hunting for my listings. I'll see if there is something I can change to make it more visible.

Now on Ebay. Open to sensible offers on c.net.

Relisted for 1500 pounds. If not sold it will become a G/D!

PS: I just looked at my currency converter, and the difference between 1600 Canadian Dollars and 1600 British Pounds is roughly 700 Euros. You could buy an entry-level hybrid Anglo for that amount!
John
1600 pounds converts to C$2770. I could let it go for C$2700 plus shipping. I may convert to G/D if it doesn’t sell, although it is such a nice player i wantedto see if anyone was looking for an Ab/Bb. .

The way the pound has been going in the currency markets might have worked the other way. ?
True. It's always a bit of a crap shoot.

I have just listed a newly restored rosewood Lachenal concertina on ebay. I prefer to sell through this site so contact me if you're interested. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184372082901

Continuing the sale of my restored instruments, here is a very nice Lachenal 30-button anglo. It has the simpler fretwork and 5-fold bellows. It is a higher grade instrument than the basic mahogany ones with a rosewood coloured finish (original). The better quality is reflected in its playability as it a responsive player with a good set of steel reeds. It is fully restored with new pads, handstraps and valves, turned to modern pitch A=440. Located in Toronto, Canada. Price reduced to C$1725 (995 pounds) plus shipping/insurance.
I have a number of other instruments including 2 rosewood 30-button C/G Lachenals, a rosewood 30-button Ab/Eb Lachenal, a 27-button Jeffries/Crabb and a 39-button Jeffries/Crabb, all recently restored. Contact me for me more information.

A beautiful 64-button extended tenor treble for sale. In very nice condition, bellows are original and very good. This one was made in January 1919, from the golden era. 6-fold bellows The instrument is tight and plays beautifully. Typically selling for 3700+ at the dealers. I am asking for 2900 pounds equivalent (C$5000). The instrument is in Toronto, Canada but will ship anywhere (shipping and insurance extra). Message me if interested.

One of the few positives of this Covid episode is that I have had the time to essentially clear my backlog of restorations and customer repairs (lots of broken customers...). I am now on to the ones I have been avoiding.
I am looking at two 32-button Lachenal rosewood instruments for restoration, Instrument one has one badly broken end and the other end is a crude home-made end plate. The other instrument has one good end and the other end is damaged but also of a much finer fretwork. I have been waiting in hope of replacement ends turning up on otherwise scrap instruments but I am moving towards the idea of having new ends cut.
Is there anyone out there who already has a digital drawing for Lachenal end plates who would be ready to sell the program as I am in touch someone who is equipped to do the work but it seems a shame to go through the process again if the work is already done.
Finally, I have a beautiful 30-button instrument that is completely missing one end (one end, bellows and reed pans are present). Does anyone have a full Lachenal end only, to sell?
Thanks.

It is just as responsive as my Aeola, I really don't know what Victorian reeds sound like.
I was thinking more of their responsiveness as the Victorian ones tended to be a bit slower than the later models (1900 +). I assume the reeds were from a top of the line instrument and, of course, Wim would have optimised reed performance. Re sound, the older ones tended to be somewhat sweet and quieter than later models but that could be construction rather than reed design that dictated that. A beautiful instrument.

It's a beautiful instrument. How responsive are the Victorian reeds?
-
That's how I read it. Tenor treble without the higher notes?

Thanks again Randy
Dipper Concertina on Ebay - looks a bit dodgy?

I've had reliable information that this is indeed genuine but it is being sold by someone who doesn't know anything about concertinas on behalf of the owner.
