Horniman Museum Concertina Collection

[SteveS]

I've just been to the Horniman web site - I can't see any way of viewing their concertina collection.

 

Does anyone know if the collection is online, and if so, how to find it?

Nightmare! Here is all I can find (just a percentage of the collection):

There is a page on the Neil Wayne Collection, but no links to the instruments in it:

Thanks Peter - looks like about as much as I found.

 

I recall there was a time when most of the collection was available online, categorised by maker.

 

Here are a small number of instruments from the collection: http://www.horniman.ac.uk/collections/browse-our-collections/keyword/concertina

 

 

 

 

Edit:

 

I found this link in my web browser cache:

This shows many more concertinas.
