LateToTheGame Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I just noticed a listing on Barleycorn Concertinas for a D/A Lachenal which is temporarily being listed as a D/A as it was originally a D/A instrument. It is completely restored, but it seems Mr. Alger is testing the waters for this original tuning. He goes on to say in the listing if there is no interest in this instrument in these keys he will re-tune it to C/G. So if you are looking for a rare bird, here you go.

Stephen Selby Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I have one. Don't play it much, but occasionally it's been useful. Because the pitch is high, it's a bit breathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I have a 22 button metal ended Lachenal (miniature) in D/A, and it has a very lovely tone and the pitch does not feel shrill. I have recently tried a C/G piccolo .......Now, that was shrill like an angry baby. I'd love to hear Barleycorn's D/A for myself.
