Lyle Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Jones Anglo Concertina with 26 buttons, tuned in C/G. Crafted in 1862. Lovely restoration by renowned concertina specialist Greg Jowaisas, who restored the fretwork, tuned the instrument to standard pitch and replaced all pads, valve and bushings.Steel reeds and 5 fold bellows The bellows ribs and end runs have been re-covered and a new air valve makes the air supply abundant. Comes with new sturdy wooden case.Unlike many 26b concertinas this Jones has button bushings and rivet action arms which makes for smooth and quiet button action.It plays "like butter" and has that warm sound associated with Jones concertinas.

Tradewinds Ted Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Could you confirm the button layout? 1) Does the partial row match the corresponding buttons of the Jeffries 30 B layout? I'm assuming that because the right hand side has no button for the index finger where the Lachenal layout would have the C#, but thought I would check. 2) What are the notes for the lowest button the G-row - This is another place where there is some variation - normally B on the push, but can be A, C or D on the pull?

Lyle Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Sure, Ted. If I were to list notes by: finger-pushnote-pullnote the layout would look like this left hand: 3 - C# - D# 2 - A - G 1 - G# - A# right hand: 2 - C# - D# 3 - A - G 4 - G# - A# lowest G-row button: push = G, pull = D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradewinds Ted Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Thanks! Not quite what I'm looking for, I think. But very tempting. Good luck with it. (traditionally, you will now find a buyer just before I change my mind. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglo-Irishman Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Lyle, Thanks for the layout info! As I see, the 3rd-row buttons correspond exactly to the normal Wheatstone/Lachenal layout as far as they go, and the pull D on the inside left, though not what I'm used to, is pretty obvious. Unfortunately, your pics on craigslist have expired - could you post them here in the forum, or perhaps e-mail them. I'd like to take a closer look at your Jones ...
