Takayuki YAGI Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Just found on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/255249942276 8 inches across the flats is very large. So at the first look I think this is a baritone but I do not know the typical size of baritone instrument. Is there any possibility that this is a bass or twin-reeded ?

John Wild Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 The description states English-type concertina, but the button layout would suggest an anglo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering about that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paaudio Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Doesn't appear to have an air button, and the key spacing looks quite odd, (the 2nd picture appears to present a rather strange perspective...)🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnert Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Granted, the seller doesn’t know what kind of concertina it is and may not know much else about it, but have you tried contacting them to ask what notes it plays (and whether it plays different notes on push and pull)?

David Helmore Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Hi all Check out the link below for more details on what this is… Sold earlier this year and sold on again a few weeks back…. Now listed for sale again… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takayuki YAGI Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 Thank you for indicating about the thread. So this is a kind of double reeded duet concertina (that may have been modified from an anglo concertina). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Helmore Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Yep, I think so… There were more pics in the listing when the last owner sold it and from memory (when seeing the variations in the action on both sides) it looked like it ‘might’ have started life as a 26 key Anglo and then been heavily modified later… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
