Mike Franch Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 This is the second Jeffries brought into the shop from deep deep in rural Alabama. Both belonged to deceased relatives. Before you, what is known about the history of the concertina in Alabama? Any information about the deceased relatives who owned these instruments?

RP3 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Based on the seven fold bellows which could be original, I will go out on a limb and suggest that it likely was/is an Aba/Eb or a G/D. How good was my guess Bob? Ross Schlabach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Tedrow Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 A C/G concertina, provided as payment in lieu of cash to a rural physician in Alabama in the 30's or 40's. All original condition, beset with various ills consistent with improper storage and lack of attention. NFS, a family treasure.......particularly so after I informed them of its compelling interest to the concertina cognoscenti. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Not for sale? Excellent. I hope, though, that having inherited it they get you to sort its problems and someone from the family learns to play it. That would be a fairytale ending to the story.
