d.elliott Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Going through 'stuff' I unearthed a miniature concertina, hidden in a box at the back of a store room. I must have has this instrument around 20 years, put aside awaiting retirement etc etc. The truth is, I am not sure what it actually is. The concertina has 9 folds, metal ends each with 5 keys. Each end has a row of four keys and a second 'row' of a single key centralised on the first row, Thus: o o o o o Each key plays push & pull two notes (Anglo style), there is no air release, it is metal ended, and is is need of new bellows and a total re-working. The action, action boxes, bellows frames, keys etc are intact, and it has a full complement of reeds. I don't know if the reeds are the original and in the original locations. Appended is a sketch of the reedpans & note locations. What does the team think? reed pans mini Anglo.pdf Edited March 13, 2022 by d.elliott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 That 2 D#'s looks a bit odd to me. Better call them Eb's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Mellish Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Are those notes as marked on the reed frames, as measured by a tuning app, or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
