Jewish Leprechaun Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Probably it's a chemnitzer concertina. Check out this web page http://www.d-and-d.com/tinas/other.html -Lep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marien Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Indeed, Arnold and Lange were bandonion makers. So is it a concertina or is it a chemnitzer or a bandoneon ? Is it square or hexagon? How big is it? How many keys are on both sides? A picture of the ends (showing the key layout) could help. Marien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marien Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Thanks for the pictures. It looks like a chemnitzer to me, but I am not a chemnitzer man. I have no clue about the age, my best guess is between 1900 and 1930. As Stephen Chambers telle in another thread: `Friedrich Lange was Uhlig's son-in-law, and the business carried on into the early 20th century.´ Lange usualy made them with zinc plates. I think the signature means that Arno Arnold has repaired it. If you have opened it up you will know the type of reed. Arno's bandonions usually have accordion reeds (hohner type of reeds - 2 per aluminium frame). If the reeds are like that then the instrument may be newer.

Daniel Hersh Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Definitely a Chemnitzer concertina. It looks more like an Arno Arnold than a Lange to me, but I'm not positive. If it's an Arno Arnold it would be post-WW2. "1.8.62 " could well refer to August 1, 1962, but it could be either a repair or a manufacture date. Thanks for the pictures.
