Lachenal 60 Button New Model Tenor Extended Treble

[Rikki]

I have for sale a Lachenal New Model English Concertina that goes down to note C3 on the right and D3 on the left.

The serial number is 45250.

It has raised metal ends and there is some damage to the right end under the thumb rest which has an old repair.

It measures 6.75 inches across and I've included a photograph of my new model 56 button extended treble purely for size comparison purposes. My extended treble is not included in the sale!

The reeds are all steel and are in a good condition - though they will of course need to be tuned.

It will require a full restoration including end repair, new valves, pads, thumb straps, bellows rebind, reed tuning etc to make playable.

Collection from Glasgow or can post at buyer's cost subject to cleared funds.

Are those things above both of the thumb straps air-release levers? If so it's the opposite extreme from having none unless you remove a reed, as discussed in another current thread.

Yes - here's a photo showing how the air pad sits inside the others.

This shows the minor damage to the end underneath the thumb strap.  It looks like someone has had a bit of a go with a soldering iron before though I'm sure a much better job could be done with relatively little effort.
