Surly Boy Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Hi all, I'm looking to buy a concertina in need of repair. Preferably a lachenal but would be interested in any apart from the cheaper accordion reeded models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjim Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Hi, I have a 20 key Lachenal in need of complete restoration. Bone buttons. Bought it from a local charity shop but I play English, Whereabouts in the world are you? Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodle Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Then there is this! If you wanted an anglo, that is. /www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155450378964?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m43.l1120&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=eac3f2bf7f2f44c085dce87ab28d6ebb&bu=43111659978&ut=RU&exe=0&ext=0&osub=-1~1&crd=20230313030344&segname=11021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR71 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Wow, a Jeffries knockoff. Were those common? I don't remember reading about them in the big article on the firm. And the stamps they used always looked quality, unlike the merely functional one seen here, aside from too many folds in the bellows. Still...being a copy of everyone's favorite company will it only sell for £2k or something? 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex West Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 LR71 The vendor sent me some additional pictures which - to my eyes at least - confirm that the base instrument is a Lachenal with their typical gate and lever action rather than a riveted lever. The stamp on the fretted ends looks like the C Jeffries font, but the ends themselves aren't as finely detailed as you'd expect from a C Jeffries. Restored, it might be worth what a typical 30 key Lachenal would be, but the vendor didn't tell me (or didn't know) what keys the instrument is in Alex West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
