**SOLD** For sale: 32 Button Lachenal Concertina

[Nial]

**SOLD**

 

Hey all, I have a 32 Button Lachenal up for sale, serial number 168882. It needs a bit of love and care, but it still plays. It's been sitting in my dad's storage since he bought it from an antique store in the 70s, and 50 years later he finally decided he doesn't have the time to learn to play it

From what I can tell the main issues are:
 

• Slight tear on one corner of the bellows
• Missing valve caps on at least two of the keys (although you'd probably want to recondition it with new ones anyho)
• Spring gone on one key
• Missing Lachenal logo plate from the front
• Box is broken at the latch. This could be fixed with wood glue, but I've opted to leave it as is so someone can recondition it how they see fit
• Metal on each need could do with a bit of polishing

I've included photos of the above issues, but if anything is missing, or you want to hear that it plays, please let me know.
 

I'm more of a saxophone person myself, but I've seen these go in good condition for at least 3000 AUD, so I'm looking to sell this for 2000 AUD, or nearest offer, given it needs some love and care. Given the aussie dollar this might be a bargain for you. I'm located in Melbourne, Australia, for local pickup. But I would be happy to ship domestically or internationally at buyer's expense

Please let me know if you have any questions
