Thanks Gary 😊

Thanks Peter and Stephen ! Gary Coover has also very kindly copied and sent me images of the longer version he got with his Lachenal Jeffries duet .

The 68 key Jeffries duet mentioned in this thread has surfaced for sale again . It’s being sold online by Trad Musical Instruments who are in the UK . Here’s the link : https://tradmusicalinstruments.co.uk/wheatstone-aeola-concertina/ I have no connection with the seller.

29366 is a 61 key Aeola Jeffries Duet in Bb - I’ve just bought it from Chris Algar

Has anyone got a spare hand written tutor book for the Jeffries duet that they’d like to sell to me ? (Not Gary’s great book, I’ve got one of those!) if so, please get in touch ! Thanks

and it now belongs to me 🙂 it’s gorgeous

Hi Mike , did it get sold ? cheers pikey

What's the date of the photo , and who are the others ? Thanks, Kevin

That's great , thanks ! It could be mine , but I understand that Donald had a large collection . Mine has a modified hand support , much deeper than just a rail . I think I can see one on the photo .

Thanks TJ, I've had a good chat with Richard , the other organiser, about Donald

Thanks Mark, I think we're both in Yorkshire , so we could meet up sometime ! My real email is Clifton.cat @ icloud.com

Thanks Mark. I'd love copies of the recordings. Where are you ? Now I'm retired a trip could be arranged !

I've got a 30 key lachenal Anglo that has a similar layout to the core of this one - Ab top row, then Bb middle, then C bottom. It's actually quite intuitive if you play on the pull, and it's great for playing Buddy can you spare a dime :-)

It's not in the Lord Hood anymore, the pub closed. It's now in the Star and Garter on the old Woolwich Road, just upstream from the naval college. It's a great session, and the great Anglo concertina players Bill Dudley and Sarah Crofts are usually there. Also some great fiddlers including the world famous John Offord :-) It gets going about 8:30 on every Tuesday.
