key layout for a tenor-treble English Concertina

[Abel Miser]

Hi everybody - I find it difficult to find a layout of keys for an English Concertina tenor-treble (going down lower than G).

 

Can anyone help me where to find such an „organigram of keys“?

 

Thank you very much!

Here's my current chart for my Dickinson Tenor Treble

[Matthew Heumann]

The beauty of playing my 64-button tenor-treble is that its fingers exactly like a 56-key treble with an extra octave added at the bottom. No wonky finger positioning to relearn like most tenor-trebles.

Riggy, it is interesting that you have Db's on the LH side and D#'s on the RH side. I recently sorted one out that had Db's through out, I converted all the Db's to D#'s as part of the exercise. Fortunately all but one of the Db's were made as D#'s that had been tip weighted to bring them down by a tone. The odd one I had to replace to maintain an even reed power and response.

The lowest note on the left side 4th row reads Bb on the diagram. Is that correct or a mistyping for Db?
