Wanted - 48 Button English To Learn On - West Coast Canada Or PNW, Seattle area.
Edit: I am now actively searching for a Lachenal Edeophone 48 key with the large reed pan hole from the late 1920s.
I am really enjoying the English concertina but my bone button instrument is in terrible condition and not worth getting professionally restored. I have been told that the Edeophone has the best balance of all the vintage concertinas for the type of music I want to play.
It is very important to me that the steel reeds have never been tuned, that it is in old high pitch. The rest of the instrument can be rough as long as it is able to be restored.
Please let me know if anyone has something like this or knows of one for sale. I prefer to buy locally in Canada but would certainly be open to getting the right instrument shipped from the UK or the USA.
Thanks,
John
