swig Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Having a bit of a sort out . Need to raise funds for a new melodeon for playing for Morris. I have a 20 button brass reeded C/G Lachenal I want to part with. Circa 1928 it all works OK. Recently tuned. Looking for £150 to include postage in UK. I live in Somerset if you want to have a look at it.
PeterG Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Hi Swig Questions: Anglo or English? Where in Zummerzet? Do you have a phone no. I could call you on? Best wishes Peter
JimLucas Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I have a 20 button brass reeded C/G Lachenal I want to part with. Anglo or English? "C/G" - This designation is only ever used with anglos. "20 button" - While theoretically possible, I've never heard of an English (or a duet) with this number of buttons. However, 20-button anglos are quite common.

However, 20-button anglos are quite common. What about this one Jim? Looks like now I have! Interesting. What's the range? And I had thought that previously the fewest-button non-miniature English I'd encountered was a 26-button piccolo-sized Lachenal with middle C as its lowest note, but I now realize that I'd forgotten the first concertina sold by Wheatstone -- Stephen Chambers' former avatar, -- and I don't remember how many buttons it has.
Shas Cho Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 What about this one Jim? Ha! As the feller said, "I learn something new every day and, frankly, it's starting to @iss me off!"
JimLucas Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 As the feller said,"I learn something new every day and, frankly, it's starting to @iss me off!" Not this feller. I feel that a day when I can't learn something new is a day wasted.
Shas Cho Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I feel that a day when I can't learn something new is a day wasted. I agree, Jim. Just couldn't resist the quip. This anglo is teaching me a bunch these days!
PeterG Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Thanks for the info Gentlemen! As you can see I am a newcomer to this sphere - as the man said 'much to learn' If Swig ever answers I may even get to se what an Anglo feels like! - if you know what i mean
