FS: Wheatstone 56 key Extended Treble - Reduced

[SteveS]

Wheatstone 56 key extended Treble concertina.

 

This was my session instrument for about 10 years until I upgraded to a Tenor-Treble.  I haven't played it in many years so it's time to let it move to a new home.

 

It is a fine workhorse of a concertina and will ideally suit a player transitioning to a better quality instrument, or an experienced player looking for a backup session instrument. 

 

This concertina has riveted reeds - and has amongst the best reeds and action I have ever played.  It's fast, loud, responsive, and has a wide dynamic range.  It's an amazing session instrument.

 

It does have issues with the ends - being solid rosewood and not a laminate, the ends suffer from cracks, but this is cosmetic only and does not affect the playing at all.  I once asked Steve Dickinson about repairing these - his response was if it's playing well then not to bother.

 

This concertina was serviced back in around 1992 by Colin Dipper, and I've recently touch-tuned it - it's in A=440Hz.

 

No serial number, but my estimate is this concertina was made around 1880.

 

No case.
