TapTheForwardAssist Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Kinda interesting creature, different from the more-common PL-42 20b Anglos I've sometimes seen on eBay.

alex_holden Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Perhaps it is wood with a celluloid covering (as used on many accordions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember seeing a similar but different concertina on eBay a while back that had green aluminium ends, and the exposed material around the sound holes does look a little metallic...

I believe the metal around the soundhole is a "grommet" and not part of the same substance as the end itself. But my gut reaction on the ends was that it looks like a casting rather than a coating. Again compare the PL-42 vs a celluloid-covered wood end, and you can note the difference there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to say, I wasn't talking about the grommeted holes, I was referencing the holes underneath the handle. It just looks rather like bare metal on the inside edges of the holes, and on the insides of the button holes too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there some Czech concertina with metal ends that was posted on this sub in the past? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
