Here's an oddity I just discovered on eBay.

It appears to be a fairly standard Lachenal Maccann duet that has been modified to make the ends unusually long, for music-hall performance. I imagine it's a one-off; I've certainly never seen anything like it, and I thought the good people of concertina.net might be interested.

Either still there on eBay or re-listed. It's to be hoped someone on here buys it and can tell us more about it, but that may not happen at the currently quoted price.

Yes, that's probably the idea; or an  impossibly big extra concertina, then inside even that..  going down in sizes ( like the Russian dolls that stack inside each other!)..to the to y lite one!😁

I noticed the reference to "Vauderville" (sic). With an "r". It seems that the vendor thinks VaudeRville was a place? or a specific theater? Of course Vaudeville was the widely used American name for what in Britain was called  Music Hall entertainment...and this would be the obvious home for an exotic probably comedic instrument .

 

We might guess that the vendor should look carefully inside both ends, and take photos. What if there is a signature in there...as there often was?

I think it’s more likely the vendor just doesn’t know how to spell Vaudeville.

If this is the same person still trying to sell it, maybe someone should offer a more realistic price.

You All need to get better Maps..

Vauderville is located just east of Podunk and north of  Boondocks..

reasonably I'd rather believe it's a baritone with super big reeds which are mounted vertically like on accordions.
