Phillip T Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) I am in the process of buying a Lachenal [at least I think it is as there is no maker's name visible but it's identical in construction to my own Lachenal] Inside is the stamped number 930. It has rosewood ends with inlaid mother of pearl decoration, metal buttons, green bellows leather, brass reeds except for two or three of the lower notes which are steel. Any ideas anyone?

Wolf Molkentin Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 From my (limited) knowledge I'd find this instrument not very likely to be a Lachenal. At first sight it looks like a Lachenal Inimitable. But in the place of the MOP inlays an Inimitable would have German silver inlays, which would be significantly smaller. As a result the ends would be smaller as well as compared to the bellows. On your picture the diameter ot the bellows seem to differ much more from the diameter of the ends. This would not be the case with an Inimitable. But of course there may be other Lachenal models which I'm simply not aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
