scoopet Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Chris algar has a baritone treble aeola for sale at the moment on his website......number 29395. This concertina was discussed in a thread in October 2014 as it was for sale on eBay( sorry I can't do a thread link). As far as i know when on eBay it had its original ends.Does anyone know who made the new ends for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveS Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I had a look at the listing - this is what Chris says: "The odd thing about it is that it has a factory made set of flat ends -not raised as you would expect. It was either a special model or it has had the ends replaced at a later date-but they are beautifully made." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoopet Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) Yes Wolf!...thank you. there's no mention of replacement ends in the original thread by Geoff so these must have been done since 2014?

Geoff Wooff Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Simon, you could ask Rich C R about this one because he went to Chris A's to view it recently but he bought the 64 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I cannot remember exactly what the 'ends' situation was and Chris A says he recently traded-in this instrument... which leaves us all to contemplate IF the ends are original or have been made elsewhere at a later date..... Mr. Algar's judgement would have a lot more experience backing it than most of us but somehow I doubt I noticed anything strange about the instrument when it was on ebay.
