I'm selling a twenty button, two-row Wheatstone Linota in the key C/G. It dates from the mid-1930s. It has a traditional slotted reed-pan, brass reed frames and steel reeds. The reeds are are genuine Linota reeds. The concertina has metal ends and "Linota" is stamped on both hand rails. The serial number 34154 The concertina has new bellows, new pads and springs, new hand-straps, and is in perfect tune. I bought this concertina off David Levine nearly three years ago.I intended to learn to play but i never just got the time . I purchased the storm case to protect it and that will go with the concertina. I am based in Clontarf in Dublin .Ireland .If a purchaser is near by ,they are welcome to try it out... I am looking for a realistic offer. Here is a link for Flickr... hope it works.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/65366282@N06/ If you search youtube.com for Mark Davies linota , you will find a video of this exact concertina. Regards Glenn :D Linota now sold , going to Australia Will make donation to concertina.net. Thanks Glenn :D

Hi I purchased a 20 button wheatstone Linota off David Levine last year and it is a fine instrument ,in my opinion! Here is the link for Mark Davies playing this concertina before I purchased it . . Glenn

Thanks Greg for your input, The concertina arrived today and looks to be in very good condition from the outside at least. I think regardless now, this is the one for me to learn on. I will play it by ear (excuse the pun) and see how things progress. I must commend this site , It is a hive of information on concertinas. Thank you........... Glenn

Hi, I am new to this site .I always wanted to play the concertina since I was a kid. In actual fact I purchased this concertina on ebay to start off with and am still waiting delivery. After reading the articles on this page I am now wondering have I bought a piece of Cr.p. What are your thoughts on it. Thanks Glenn
