Anglo-Irishman Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Because they were made by Crabb, perhaps? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polavoy Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Fair enough. Why are VWs such good cars? Because they’re made by VW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicx66 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Does anyone sell full sets of Jeffries reeds? I know of at least 2 makers who built new concertinas with vintage Jeffries concertina reeds, so the value is measurable in a dollar amount . Sorry, I know this does not answer your question because I do not have the technical knowledge of a reed-maker, but it is very interesting.

Seriously, the first Jeffries were made by Crabb, and that would be the reed form the Jeffries knew and perhaps developed from. I have often been surprised how crude the Jeffries workmanship compared with the Crabb counterparts. To be fair though, Jeffries did not have to report emissions data......
