It is fully restored and Ready to Play, It has rosewood fretwork ends original bellows and the number dates this beautiful concertina to eighteen seventy! Comes with original case that has also had some restoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjcjones Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Someone on melodeon.net has pointed out that the same concertina is apparently being offered on Gumtree by "Gillian". https://www.gumtree.com/p/other-instruments/1870-concertina-lachenal-excelsior-48-key-anglo-in-concert-pitch-fully-restored-ready-to-play/1354953608 The OP in this thread is a new member with no profile. This may be entirely genuine, but they don't appear to know much about concertinas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller's name on Gumtree comes up as "Henrietta" when I click on the link above. Very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller's name on Gumtree comes up as "Henrietta" when I click on the link above. Very strange. Originally, it was 'Gillian', and came up with a supposed photograph of the vendor and a puff for the Prison Service. Then it was changed - as you say - 'strange'. I think that though the title has been changed to 'English' on GT, it's not possible to do that here?

hjcjones Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Neil, you need to understand there are a lot of scams around concertina sales, often using photos taken from a genuine sale, so people here are by default suspicious of any new advertisements which appear inconsistent or contain obvious errors, as this one does, and especially when posted by a new member who has provided no other information about themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Molkentin Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 from the pic it’s rather an “Inimitable“, not an „Excelsior“ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I saw it posted on ebay and suggested to seller that it's an Inimitable but I've had no response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
