SteveS Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hi Wolf - nice baritone - I have one very similar to yours - mine is a 56 key. I'm a big fan of New Model concertinas, and these baritones are great. Mine also has a rivetted action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's amazing, Geoff. Did you then replace it with your Baritone Treble? Would you care to rate your former instrument referring to your own playing? Do you know who owns it now? I really like the sounds mine is making (resp. letting me make)... All the best - ? Edited May 21, 2019 by Wolf Molkentin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Wooff Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hi Wolf, no I already had the Baritone Treble. The New Model baritone was an instrument I found here in France a few years ago. It needed a little maintenance work but played very well and the low notes had really nice tone and spoke quickly. I should have kept it but I sold it to Nils Meyn in Hambourg, so you might meet it sometime. Good luck with yours, Geoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of New Model concertinas, and these baritones are great. Mine also has a rivetted action. Hi Steve, thank you for the encouragement re this instrument. Actually it's my first New Model concertina; I loved my first "real" (disregarding the Hohner/Stagi) concertina, which happened to be an Excelsior, Lachenal's Old (Top) Model if you will. The sound was perfectly balanced for playing melody with harmonies. The action was o.k., the bellows all too worn, and overall a lack of sufficient air supply. Needs some TLC (valves, bellows patches, bushings), but I believe it will keep being too slow for fluently playing honrpipes and stuff, now that I'm spoiled for it (by my Model 24 in particular). I really like my very plain and simple Lachenal Mahogany 20b Anglo, and I love the sound of the Rosewood G/D. Most of the time in the nearer future I will just switch between the G/D and the New Model Baritone I guess. Return of the Lachenal instruments? in a way. But I can't gauge a top level Lachenal treble, i.e. New Model or Edeo, as I never played one. However, my Aeola TT and Model 24 are both exceptional instruments as for me... Do you think your 56 baritone is slightly larger? rather not so I guess, and I reckon it has the partly radial, partly parallel reedpan like mine... All the best - ?

Thank you Geoff - I had a vague notion re Nils' baritone, as he was actually involved in the sale and told me of his alike instrument (which I believe to have met in former years)! I really love the sound; it's different but not inferior to the one of a baritone Aeola IMO. The only tone not speaking so well are the extra low Fs (which I only had to shift from right to left), maybe I'll have to work a bit on the voicing of these two reeds; and as with any (EC) instrument I'm torn between the F and F# (resp. Bb and B with the TT). All the best - ? Edited May 22, 2019 by Wolf Molkentin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultramadison Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Hi, I’m new to Concertina.net, and new to concertinas in general. 8 years ago I attended The university of Western Ontario, where I studied piano technology. I learned to tune and repair pianos. Recently, I saw a concertina at Auction. I thought it might be interesting to take one apart and learn more about them. The previous owner stated that the concertina was made in Winnipeg, but I learned only the case was built in Winnipeg. The concertina is actually a Lachenal Anglo. im hoping by following this page I will learn a lot, Thanks for allowing me in the group, Edited July 5, 2019 by Ultramadison Added photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susanne Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Does anyone check these pages anymore? Anyway, I have a new babe since April 2019. A C/G anglo built in Dublin 2018. Very nice, both sound and looks, and finally I have a decent box that doesn't work against me when I play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich C R Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Looks very nice and you obviously enjoy playing it and that's what matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mike, the one on the right looks familiar to me, though (if it is the same one - and it's probably unique!) I haven't seen it in almost 50 years. Do you know who it was made for, or should I tell you about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Acott Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Hello Stephen, Some information would be welcome,I bought this off e bay about 8 years ago. I was the only bidder only to find out it is pltched in Eb and is the as far as I know the only one ever made. I normally take it when I go to a song session where I know am bothered by some ordinary melodian players who try to dominate proceedings. Regards.

Mike Acott Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hello Stephen, The serial number is 32325 , I must say it does have an unusual sound, its almost the same as a single action baritone that came from the vicarage at Great Snoring in Norfolk. I believe that is now with Clare Wren down in the West country and is used in the band she has . Regards. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
