Cool case unfortunately I’m 12 years old and can’t afford that

Nice playing Richard! I always loved the tone of those Lachenals.

Oh me gaaaawd, I would love to own this. I have the same semi miniature box in a 20 button, in almost new condition… I could put a different set of reeds in it perhaps for a trade? I love this little guy. I’m in the states.

The semi-miniature Norman has 13 keys and is in the key of G. It has been sold.

Because of the light weight and size of these concertinas they were referred to as Ladies Instruments .

I had one of these to restore and tune years ago and I was very impressed with the sound .

It was eventually sold to a lovely lady friend who followed the Broadwood Morris and was Director of a local brewery. So how could I resist not letting her buy it.

I know this is an old thread, but can anyone tell me what the dimensions are/were for this instrument (the Lachenal 26-button)? Or any similar 26-odd button semi-miniature.
- Thanks

Hi

It comes in at a whopping 5.25" across the flats. And I'm really glad I still have it in spite of the momentary episode when I offered it here.

 

Would you like any other sort of measurements?
