Lachenal 48 Button Metal Ended English Concertina For Sale

[Rikki]

I have a nice Lachenal metal ended 48 button concertina that I recently purchased through the Music Room website. The more observant of you may have seen their ad when they were selling it for £1,200 after they had it on ebay for £1,500.

 

I bought it as a temporary measure whilst my Wheatstone Model 22 is being refurbished, but I have now purchased another Wheatstone (through this site!) so it is surplus to requirements.

 

It has recently had new pads and valves, and it has steel reeds. The 5 fold bellows are in a good order.

 

It plays fairly well, but in my opinion it could be so much better if the chamois was refurbished so that the reeds could sound a little faster and louder than they currently do. This is just my personal opinion, and bear in mind I am comparing it to my Model 22 which is a fairly top end box.

 

I am only looking for around £600 if not sold through ebay. I live in Glasgow, so if you are close then you are welcome to come and try. I can accept Paypal if you would like it shipped, but UK & EU (Euro) countries only please.
