Flip Delport Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 (edited) Hi Bernie I would like to help you with all the info you need. I am in South Africa and very much familiar with all the Anglo Concertinas made here. I believe that the name should read “Hanvil”, named after the manufacturer, Hannes Viljoen who passed away some time ago. Flip Delport P.S. Attachment shows a few of the late Hannes Viljoen's own creations. Edited October 17, 2004 by Flip Delport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Delport Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 The concertina in question is a Wheatstone that was restored by Hannes Viljoen and belonged to Nico van Rensburg. When Nico bought the instrument, the two identification plates were missing. Nico instructed Hannes to attach his own "Havil" plates merely for decorative purpose. Confirmed by Nico van Rensburg on 19 October 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
