Peter Trimming ( @PeterT) played. 🐐 Sweet Jenny Jones in G and in C Rattling Bog in D and in G

I found this one. 🐐

No, it's hexagonal shaped.

Thank you all for your input. YAGI 🐐

Does this exist? I thought Lachenal used hooked action. My friend recently acquired a Lachenal EC with riveted action (original or later replacement?). Any info would be greatly appreciated. YAGI 🐐

I agree that. FYI here is a photo of Mayfair anglo's reed board from ebay. Mayfair used accordion style reeds (a pair of reeds on one plate and on the one side of the reed board), it was quite different to OP's reedpan (single reed per plate, reeds were on both side of the reedpan). YAGI 🐐

Similar model came up on ebay now. https://www.ebay.com/itm/192818132702 YAGI 🐐

I checked inside again and realized that the number looked like 155262 rather than 155862 (please see the photo). It was 30 key in Ab/Eb retuned to G/D, wood fretwork, steel reeds, 6-fold replacement bellows. This concertina was also discussed here. Sorry for the mistake. I hope this helps. YAGI 🐐

I do. Mine is 155862 .

I also have Lachenal A flat/ E flat (but retuned to G/D) wood end model. It has additional metal parts with screw-hole under the LHS hand strap which accommodates band lyre. YAGI 🐐

I thought of that. The English model named Busker and Duet model named Troubadour (not yet available?), all of them are kind of travel poets/musicians. YAGI 🐐

Just FYI International Concertina Association (ICA) has a list of teachers here. Is Liskeard Cornwall near you ? YAGI 🐐

Slightly off topic, Barleycorn now lists 22 key Lachenal C/G which has G#/Bb on the LHS and C#/D# on the RHS. YAGI 🐐

I have no idea but I suppose @Dowright can provide approximate date from the serial number. YAGI 🐐

According to this page and some older threads, there were some B/F#s by various makes in the past. Its not a common key though. My opinion to the OP is that leave it in the original key. I have re-tuned G/D (from Ab/Eb) and enjoy this but would like to hear the original tuning sometimes. YAGI 🐐
