Paul_Hardy Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Does anyone recognise the pattern of the bellows papers here? A description of the instrument is at https://pghardy.net/concertina/lachenal_32801/lachenal_32801.html, including a shot of the inside of the bellows. I don't think they are original (not a standard Lachenal pattern?) but are certainly not new. Any guess at the maker? Or are they just some decorative additions to original black bellows?

d.elliott Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Paul, it's the Lachenal Art Deco style paper, I started to do the artwork for printing plates, but there was so few of them that I never bothered to finish it. there would not have been the demand to make the exercise wash it's face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Edgley Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Probably not a good idea to use this pattern as it is too similar to another pattern, which would give the wrong impression of the person who would have it on their concertina. At least I hope no one would deliberately put it on their instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Yes, Lachenal's Art Deco pattern from their last few years, usually to be found on instruments with Casein plastic buttons, plywood ends and 6XXXX serial numbers. Probably the original bellows (or just the bellows papers) of 32801 got replaced in that era? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 And 2XXXXX numbers on anglos like this one also with casein buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
