Wheatstone & Co 57 key duet concertina. Maccann. For sale

[Georgerarnold]

 

Hello,

 

I’m selling this beautiful Wheatstone and Co 57 key duet concertina on behalf of my father who no longer plays. 

 

It was bought in 2013 from barleycorn concertinas and has very little use since. Everything works very well and it sounds great and it is stunningly beautiful to look at. It comes with a lovely leather box too. 

 

£2500 or nearest offer. 

Any questions please ask. 

 

Thanks.

Located in Seaton in Devon in England.

Yes I’m sorry about that. I have no idea why. I’ll try to make a smaller image perhaps. It’s a beautiful instrument and should be seen.
