Mad Man Zak Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I have a 48 key Lachenal Duet with Crane (Butterworth) configuration. The serial number inside the unit is 486 and is found on the reed pans of both ends. Any idea of when this was made? Also, what is the correct pronounciation of the name "Lachenal"?

wes williams Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi Zak, A number that low would be very approximately around 1905. I always say Lash-en-al, but that could be wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be wrong too. And me, and everyone else in the concertina world that I've met I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzirtzi Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 It's a French name, so I would guess that it's correctly la-she-NAL (though I've always said LACH-e-nal with a CH as in loch or cheers, regardless). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
