FS: Lachenal TT 56 keys

[SteveS]

I'm selling my Lachenal Tenor-Treble 56 keys.

 

Fully restored by me a few years ago.  I no longer play this instrument since I have an Aeola TT.

 

The restoration included:

- tuning to A440

- new pads, valves, resetting action, polishing buttons and other bright work

- French polished to a high gloss

 

Comes complete with a leather case (leather carry strap needs a little attention).

 

What's unusual about this 'tina is that it looks like a 48 key instrument with the spindle-cut fretwork, but it looks to me like it's of much better quality.  It's abou8t the same size as the equivalent 48-key instrument.  My guess it was made to a price-point by Lachenal for JJ Vickers as a student instrument.

 

This 'tina plays well, and has a fast action and bright sound.  While it's not as loud as an Aeola, it should hold up in sessions, and would make a great singers instrument.  I've played it in Nordic music jam sessions and it played well against massed fiddles.

 

Price £1900.

Shipping extra at cost.

 

Edit - this concertina is in UK and will ship from UK.
