  1. 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

  2. hello all

    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!!!!

  3. hello all

  4. 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!!!
