Jamie robinson Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I am on the lookout for a good 57 key McCann. Don’t suppose you have one in your stock ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Acott Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 I am sorry I don't have any Anglos at the moment and I only have two McCanns both are 72 key models . Both are priced to sell if you are interested. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Acott Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 Hello Simon ,The best and rarest English is an ebony ended Edeophone 58 key, 6 fold bellows, rivetted action and all fully restored. the volume of sound and the tone of the concertina can be altered by slides covering the unusual fret patterns. I have never seen the like before. Asking price £3000 A Lachenal darkwood treble 5 fold bellows, all sorted £1450 A wheatstone no 34130 rosewood ends 7 fold bellows all fully sorted in a modern square case price £1700 I do have an early George Case with bone buttons ,steel reeds 5fold bellows with original papers, all fully sorted, this is with someone on trial at this time but will be at £1400 I do have a 23000 wheatstone with brass reeds which needs a check over 5 fold bellows the tone would suit a singer. £1500 I hope one of rhese may be of interest.

GrahamL Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Hi Mike, Happy New Year! Do you have any Crane Duets that you might be interested in letting go for the right price? Thanks Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Acott Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Hello Graham, The only crane that could be for sale is my 80 key Crabb special but I have not set a price on but it will be expensive because Crane duets of this size are as rare as hens teeth.If you wish to think on it have a chat with Geoff Crabb , I think he would give an honest opinion of it. Happy New Year. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Acott Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Maccannic, The Aeola range is LH G2toG#4 RH G#toC7 this is a 29000 series box the Lachenal New Model ser no 836 is LGF2toC5 RG C4toD7 The Aeola not the prettiest as the ends are alloy and left end has a period blank where additional buttons may have planned or meant for a different box. The Lachenal has metal ends with bushed white buttons, both boxes have 7 fold bellows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
