32 Button Lachenal Anglo For Sale

[Simon1504]

Restored by David Robertson. I have had this instrument for over 40 years and sadly never truly played it - it is time for it to go to a new home where it will be appreciated.

 

David has done great work apart from rebinding the bellows ends cleaning and replacing the valves pads etc. the box is now concert pitch and ready to go. Please see the pictures.

 

I am asking £1750

 

It will also be upon David's site in due course www.concertina-restoration.co.uk

What's on the extra buttons? Cock crow and mice?

[Simon1504]

No - I am unsure what notes they are but they are not novelty extras.

Hi Simon,

 

Is the 'tina with David at the moment? I am interested and would like to try it, assuming it is a C/G, and I can get to his place very easily.

[Simon1504]

Mike - yes it is and due to be dispatched tomorrow, I can get it delayed if that would help. This is the link to David's site showing the box. www.concertina-restoration/#!for-sale-now/c32m

Thanks Simon,

 

it as not on his website when I looked early last week. Another of his excellent restorations and finishes I see. I'll give him a ring.

I went over to see David this afternoon, David kindly unpacked it for me and I was able to have a good play. Your box is very nice, plays well but sounds too close to my own rosewood ended Lachenal of the same age (only 3000 difference in numbers) and I was looking for something louder and with a bit more "attack" to mix it with the Wheatstone ECs and the Jefferies and Wheatstone Anglos in our local concertina band. I hoped your metal ended Lachenal would be it. The extra buttons are potentially useful though. However, I have decided not to buy, sorry, but I am sure you will have no trouble selling it.
