for sale 1951 64-button Wheatstone Aeola (standard Treble fingering positions)

[Matthew Heumann]

Because of 2 recent extravagant concertina purchases, I promised my very concertina-friendly wife that I would thin my "harem" as she calls them. I am offering up my 1951 64-button Wheatstone Aeola. Though considered a Tenor-Treble, functionally it fingers exactly like a standard treble EC but with an extra octave both above & below. it is unusually light for the ilk. I bought it fully reconditioned from Barleycorn in 2021.

I am asking $3500/£2667 (+post+insur.), $400 below my cost with free $85 Seahorse (similar to Pelican brand) case which I bought separately. Case has substantial foam padding w/ extra storage slots. Essentially in such mint condition that the original bellows haven't even softened much from playing. Extremely air tight. Prefer to sell USA, but will ship internationally if you are willing to bear the expense + insurance. Sales commission will be given to Concertina.net as recommended. Inquiry via Concertina.net's Personal Messenger.

Here it is in action:
