Don Taylor Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) See: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-autres-instrument-de-musique/drummondville/accordeon-concertina-la-re-20-boutons/1161367702 Seems to be a 20 button rectangular Anglo in A/D (?). Big buttons (accordion buttons?), air lever and a raised hand rest. I think that it looks quite handsome. Does anybody recognize this beast? Don.

Graham Collicutt Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Looks similar to prototype from here http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=16906 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felix castro Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 But it has 5 buttons in each row, nor 6 buttons as the prototype linked. Félix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felix castro Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Sorry, the concertina played in the video linked has 5 buttons in each row, not 6 buttons as the concertina that is in the brochure, and it is very similar to the instrument for selling in Quebec.

Defra Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 It bears a passing resemblance to the Mélodina made by Accordéons du Marais not far from where I live. http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=16906&hl=st%E9phane&do=findComment&comment=160473 I wonder if there's any connection? Possible given the Québec-France link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewVanitas Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I'll admit I was briefly tempted, but it's not cheap-cheap and I have tons of squeezeboxes and other gear. Also, to riff on Indian Jones: "It. Belongs. In. Newfoundland!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
