Paul Read Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) A restored 27-button (including Bb drone) concertina in Bb/F. There is no Jeffries stamp visible on this instrument but comparison of the reeds against another Jeffries finds the reeds to be identical and I am advised that the fretwork is Jeffries, not Crabb but I don't know if that is conclusive. The concertina has new 6-fold bellows, valves, pads and is tuned to A=440 modern concert pitch. It has a fast action with responsive reeds, great sound, a lovely concertina overall. Asking C$4500.

Paul Read Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 I have just been advised elsewhere that this is a Jeffries, not a Crabb. Good news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sylte Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I have one just like it, unstamped. How might I also determine if mine is Crabb or Jeffries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Thorne Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Even if it were a Crabb it would likely still be a mighty fine instrument. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harpomatic Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 If it is free, I take it, whether it is Crabb or Jeffries, it doesn't matter when the price is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
