Jeffries January Sale - Reduced To £3950!

[david robertson]

I know this is the time of year when credit cards are all maxed out, but it's also a good time to snap up a bargain - so it might well be worth having a furtle down the back of the sofa! (Auto-correct keeps trying to make that a turtle!)

This 44k Praed Street Jeffries in C/G has had new pads, valves, dampers, bushings and straps. The bellows have been re-bound and papered, and the woodwork has been stripped and refinished in French polish. Finally, it has been tuned to modern concert pitch.

If you are within reach of Norwich, you're welcome to come and try it out. Failing that, there's a sound file comparing it with my own 38k Jeffries on my website (www.concertina-restoration.co.uk) which may give you an idea of the performance of the box (if not of the player). Just click on the "Buy & Sell" tab, then select "For sale now" from the sub-menu.

Happy New Year!
