Want to buy a good pre-owned 46 key duet concertina - Beaumont or Wheatstone

[Ed Nardell]

Concertina beginner here, but good instruments are so hard to come by I thought I would start looking now. 

[Ed Nardell]

I guess the Beaumont is 52 keys - fine.

Hi Ed,

 

would this be of any interest? Lachenal New Model 55 key Maccann duet. Currently unrestored but in excellent condition.

 

[MelBoy]

Plus case…

Maccann duet

I've read the comparison between Stagi and Macaann, favoring Macaann, but my inclination is a good Hayden.  Can you qoute me a price, and estimate how much it would cost to retore it.  Thanks, 

Ed

Not so much Stagi vs Maccan, rather Maccan vs Hayden vs Crane vs some outliers.
