Wanted: English Concertina

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for something like a Lachenal 48 key treble in playable condition. This would be my first instrument so I won't consider anything in need of major work. 

 

Located in New England.

I have a Wheatstone 48 button concertina which I inherited, and am considering selling.It is in what I would consider very good condition for being 170 years old. It has metal buttons, all of which respond well, and the bellows are in great shape and do not leak. Serial number is 4144, indicating that it was first sold on August 20th, 1852. Case is in fairly rough shape but still snaps and does its job. Pics available if interested.

Where are you based? I have a variety of rare Aeolas for sale, but also a good rosewood-ended Lachenal with metal buttons, five-fold good bellows and a good original wooden box at 900€, based in Germany. Or a nice ebony-ended 48-key Aeola, fully restored, but with "only" five-fold bellows for 2500€!?
