Hello, I’m selling this beautiful Wheatstone and Co 57 key duet concertina on behalf of my father who no longer plays. It was bought in 2013 from barleycorn concertinas and has very little use since. Everything works very well and it sounds great and it is stunningly beautiful to look at. It comes with a lovely leather box too. £2500 or nearest offer. Any questions please ask. Thanks. Located in Seaton in Devon in England.

I purchased this instrument from Edward Jay earlier this year. You can see the exact instrument on his website and YouTube channel (links below): http://edwardjay.net/paragraphsView.aspx?siteid=61&headerid=107&siteHeader=Hayden ←(Note layout shown at the bottom of this page) As Edward's website states, it's a 74 button (40RH + 33LH + Air) Hayden/Wicky Duet Concertina with 8-fold leather bellows and a square frame. The instrument comes with the case shown in the attached images, and Edward also provided an extra set of green lids with alternative fretwork. It's a wonderful instrument, perfect condition, and the only reason I am selling is because I actually commissioned another custom instrument from Edward. For everything shown (instrument, alternate lids, and case) I would like to sell for $4250 USD. Ideally I am trying to sell to someone also in the United States, but if you are very interested and live elsewhere, please reach out to me and we can discuss.

I bought this ten years ago from Barleycorn and never learned to play it. A beautiful instrument with new bellows and complete overhaul. Concert pitch. Case is worn but functional. Includes some photos and documentation from its former life. Made in 1922 $3500
