Garry W Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) I've posted my old-favorite Lachenal concertina on eBay; it's at https://www.ebay.com/itm/203243728836 . I will also be posting my Jeffries soon. Question: people have told me that my Lachenal is indeed a Lachenal. But I can't find any actual maker's label or mark in or on the instrument. Is there a sure-fire way of knowing whether it is, indeed, a Lachenal? P.S. - If you're in the San Francisco area, you can come over and have a look!

jdms Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I expect you've have mentioned it if it were there, but just in case: do the words "Trade Mark" and an outline of a reed appear on the handrests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes williams Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Looks pretty much the same as my own Lachenal anglo, with the metal ends going into a rebate. But if we look at your last photo on ebay with zoom-in you can see the lever action - a pressed pivot with a pressed arm passing through its slot and held in place by the spring. That's pretty much standard for a Lachenal action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
