Hi. I just purchased a 40-button G/D Bastari and am now waiting for it to arrive. How do you like yours? Jim

Hi. I have recently acquired a 20-button Lachenal anglo concertina, # 95346 (which i believe to be from the 1890s) and I am interested in learning to restore and repair it. Right now, the wood looks ok, just dirty, but not all the buttons work, and I suspect there are leaks in the bellows (when I compress the bellows, they open up easily without any buttons pushed). Where do I begin????? Will greatly appreciate any hints and suggestions. Jim
