Not quite as good as earlier versions, but decidedly better than the ones they made after WW2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacokotze Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) It was played alot , one button is loose and borken , its not cg it has to be retuned Edited May 1, 2023 by Jacokotze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sohcahtoa Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 It's probably worth the 991 Euro price, but I would absolutely not retune it to C/G. Also I would send it to UK or USA for restoration, I wouldn't let a South African repairman anywhere near it. What key is it in currently? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacokotze Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 The lightest concertina, also not the best sounding one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.elliott Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The ebonised concertina appears to utilise brass reed frames, the metal ended instrument Aluminium reed frames. there will be a weight difference, as was intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacokotze Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Finished !restoring my favourite concertina , the hours I’ve put in is unbelievable its perfectly tuned to cg using lead method , strangely enough it beats all my normal concertina with the loudest warmest sound .the no 303.. linota 3 riveted action row i had thats 100 years old this year,there was 2-3 notes that came out super unbelievabley loud but stil 3 row is not the ideal concertina vor our music +the post war linota i hand no50..( thats numbers got lost on the leage) had more like a car horn sound also special but not as the 3.. number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maby is the brass frames i think your correct . the wood looks like its the same family so there wil be no weight difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
