I should like to sell a Wheatstone 48 key English concertina, serial number 34378, c.1936.
I have little knowledge of concertinas, and have not dismantled the instrument in any way.
Metal (nickel?) buttons – one is missing. 20 notes on each side sound clearly on both push and pull, whilst 4 notes on each side (to include the missing button note) are impaired in sound on either push or pull. Rosewood fretwork. 5 bellows, which seem wholly airtight. Comes in original box with sales leaflet.

Inspection welcome in Hammersmith, West London.
Price £450
With thanks.
