Orm Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I'm looking for a small sized 26/28 buttons Jeffries/Lachenal/Crabb/Jones/something else. I don't play concertina much, but I need one for occasional playing of irish tunes/accompanying myself. Something like Lachenal mentioned here would be nice. PM me if you have something to offer. Regards Roman

richard Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Hi Roman This is Richard who wrote the intitial thread that asked for a 26 button smaller instrument. FYI I finally found one. It took a year of correspondance with a very nice fellow in England. And I finally got a 26 button Lachenal that is quit small but not a miniature. It is one of the best Lachenals that I have tried (in my brief history). Good luck. Richard
Orm Posted April 12, 2015 Author Posted April 12, 2015 Hey, Richard, thanks for info, I'll PM you Roman
MatthewVanitas Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Hello Orm, not to belabor the usual suspects if you've already tried these, but have you contacted Greg Jowaisas in the US and Chris Algar (Barleycorn Concertinas) in the UK? Those are two of the gents that tend to get a large amount of stock coming through them and just might have what you need or can be asked to be on the lookout for it.
richard Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Roman Here are some photos of my small Lachenal 26 button that you asked for.
Mark Davies Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 If you are still looking send me a PM.I know someone who is selling two lovely concertinas in superb playing order.A 28 key metal ended bone buttoned Jeffries and a 30 key metal ended bone buttoned John Crabb.The prices are also reasonable.The "experts "on this site will probably disagree with me but John Crabb and his successors made some of the finest Anglos you are likely to come across.
Mark Davies Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Sorry Des I seem not to be able to send you a PM.£5000(stirling)each.
Orm Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 Thanks for the info, but the price is actually one of the reasons why I'm searching for 26-28 buttons instrument. I don't want to pay that much for the instrument, but I do want a good one So the idea was that 26-28 buttons instrument will be cheaper for same quality instrument. We'll see though
Alex West Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Orm PM sent regarding a 26 key wooden ended Crabb Alex West

adrian brown Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Finally bought really nice small-sized Lachena, 26 buttons, thanks everybody ...and a very nice instrument it is too - as I told you Orm, I don't think I've played a nicer Lachenal Adrian
