I would like to ask you for an advice. Few days ago, I get an instrument - perhaps chemnitzer/carlsfelder concertina (it seem closest in appearance to me, I don't know the differences between those types) - but as I went trough the internet I realized that none of the keyboard layouts that I've found fitted to my new squeezebox. It has 88 tones (24 buttons on the right side and 20 on the left - arranged in 3 rows on each side), an "A" in decoration (so it would be possible connected with Arnold family?) and there was a text I'm not able to read (something with 88 tones...) and pencil written date inside (12.12.14). I uploaded some photos in my dropbox gallery: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/i36l35953it77mu/x_GRp1-_rB so you could see what do I speak about. I would like to learn more about and to play this instrument. Could you help me to identify it? Do you know where to find a particular layout for this type? What about tunning? Because the numbers of buttons are not clear visible on the photos, I write them also below: LEFT 16, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0 15, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0/1 17, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, cross RIGHT crossed zero, 2/0, 0/1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0 4/0, 3/0, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15 6/0, 5/0, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16 Thanks a lot, Barbora
