nkgibbs Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) A few more clues from inside ……..a baritone? Edited April 3, 2016 by nkgibbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Ah, the "stretched hexagon" shape wasn't apparent in your first photo, but your additional images confirm what I already suspected and it's a good-quality Lachenal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Chambers Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 that reed pan layout is very cool Designed to get a "bassy" sound off the lowest reeds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkgibbs Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Many thanks Stephen, I had my suspicions that it was a Lachenal baritone and now see that there is another post showing the same reedpan layout here. Best wishes, Neil Edited April 4, 2016 by nkgibbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicx66 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Cormac Begley plays an anglo lachenal baritone to wonderful affect with accompaniment from his sister on viola. The combination is quite beautiful. When listening its hard to tell where one instrument ends and the other begins. I wonder if the anglo baritones employed the same reed pan design or if they used a typical radial type layout? I am guessing the above instrument would also sound nice with a viola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the anglo baritones employed the same reed pan design or if they used a typical radial type layout? I can tell you that Cormac's one is radial because I tuned it (and several of his other concertinas) and sold it to him! Also it's in Bb/F.

Bill Crossland Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Whereas the 20 key one I have (in C/G) is a parallel reed pan...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Whereas the 20 key one I have (in C/G) is a parallel reed pan...... But then, regular 20-key Lachenal Anglos have parallel reedpans anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They (he and his sister) should do some shows in north america (fingers crossed) Edited April 6, 2016 by nicx66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkgibbs Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Stephen, Confirmation of our suspicions after a bit of a struggle opening up the action pan: Moths have chewed on the pads but after a good brush everything looks good Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
