Hello
Can you tell me if it has brass reeds or steel? And would you be able to show any photos of the reed pans.
If the item is still for sale.
Thanks

Hello Alan
The tune was from the late Jim Harding when he was with Southdowns Morris,One of a few tunes that he composed and are still played down in Sussex.

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

Interesting one this,has anyone ever checked the depth of the reed chambers?my jeffries is just over 3mm deep
having checked three other jeffries(more honkier than mine) they were 4mm deep,any conclusions?

I have a g/d jeffries 39b,and a wheatstone c/g 40b I tend to keep certain tunes for the wheatstone some seem to fall into place on this concertina
would be nice to have two concertinas with the same layout in the keys above,but at todays prices!!!!

Chriss lust is the downfall of many a concertina player!!!

hello all
re the concertinas for sale.I know these instruments well having played them
on my weekly visits to the late owner both with him and solo when he was to ill to play them.
the dipper/scard,Bb/F jeffries and the g/d crabb(which came from roger edwards) are top notch.
the g/d jeffries is very loud so much so that we named it the trumpet no quite the jeffries sound.
the 45 button jeffries has the right sound but needs some work ie the buttons are a tad to high
and the reed layout is a bit wheatstone/jeffries but could be a nice instrument I had this on loan
for a short time.these are personal views others may think diffrent.if I can help at all let me know.as for the price well!!!

A Remarkable Young Anglo Player
in Concertina Videos & Music
Posted
Very well played indeed.I would also add that the tune is notated in John Kirkpatrick book of tunes.I think he played it on piano and than aranged it for the Anglo.
So good to see a talented young player.
