55 key Lachenal Maccan For Sale

[Dirge]

Small at 6 3/4" across the flats but with 7 fold bellows and RH going down to middle C, so a really useful size and range,   no. 3981 was fully rebuilt by Mike Acott last year for me but I did not really take to it (spoilt by a diet of aeolas!) so it's for sale for £1750.  Donation to Cnet if it sells of course.  It's still a bit stiff needing playing in,  but ready to go and will benefit from being used regularly.  It comes in a tin case made for a German thingy which does give it some pro tection.  View/test run in Somerset,  but don't leave it too long,  it goes on ebay in a few days .

Hi Dirge, good to "see" you once again here (was missing your posts, discussing and sharing music etc.).

 

Good luck with the sale, and hopefully bye just for now! ?

[Dirge]

Hallo Wolf;  thanks for the good wishes.

 

If anyone is interested in the concertina contact me through the website.

[Mike Franch]

Echoing Wolf. Hope you'll hop back into the forum.

Whereabouts in Somerset is this viewable? I could potentially be interested

[Dirge]

It's in Wells;  but I'm on;ly there until sunday myself.  I was going to leave it to deal with next year but if you can get over fairly fast pm me a phone no I'll ring you.

What's the instrument's range, out of curiosity?

[ritonmousquetaire]

Don't mind the previous post, I found a diagram.

 

That instrument is a beauty, size-wise and number-of-keys-wise it's an ideal. I just wish the left hand could go lower; I would gladly sacrifice most of the overlap if that allowed to go a fourth lower, at G.

 

Hope its' new proprietary will let us hear how it sounds!

Is this still available? 

[Dirge]

Hallo folks;   although I still have the 'box  and want to sell it,  doing so would be difficult at the moment as it is still in Wells and I am back in NZ.   I've decided to leave it until next year. 

 

(If anyone is really desperate you'd better email me...)

PM sent, my terrible timing. Looks like good size and range for what I need!

Right I shall be back in Somerset in a week or so and would like to have another go at selling this.  I have a forum member wanting to try it;  she gets first go.

Down to C on the Right is nice.  My 55 only goes down to G and it is a bit limiting.
