I have a 38 button jeffries which I got from hobgoblins in 1978,I sold my 5 string banjo to fund this.
and have played this since this time,It had a rebuild and new bellows in 1980 by John Holeman and has had no problems
since that time its played every day and has been played in many of the EU country's
I also have a 1905 wheatstone 40 button anglo which I have owned for about 15 years nice concertina,layout a different to the jeffries.
but what would we do without them?
all the best
