Are more photos out of the question? Fretwork etc?

Thats fantastic Paul! Thank you!

Wow! that is interesting! Thank you so much for the info Geoff. I wonder why that key was so popular? Anyone have an idea? I'm way too far out of my comfort zone to speculate.

This was also originally tuned to B f sharp.

Thanks Stephen. 🙏🏻

But which one…. 😂 the underside of a few reeds….

Would anyone like to have a guess as to who made this concertina? It is stamped J. Booth all over but I think he might have been a dealer….

I know of one particular concertina that was sold at the same auction house 3 different times... Each time the new owner opened it up and realised that all the reeds had been swapped out for very poor brass reeds, it went back and they sold it again.. And made their seller's/ buyer's fees.. 3 times....

Can I take the opportunity to be cheeky and ask if a picture would be possible? I’m sure others would be interested too…

Recently was discussed here….

I second a vote for Suttner concertinas. They really are fantastic. And when he is in the same country as you, it makes a lot of sense.

Thanks Geoff. I was pleasantly surprised with it. (For once!)
