Peter Smith Posted May 30 Posted May 30 (edited) A very unusual and rare 8-sided 20-button Anglo concertina. When closed, the bellows are protected by the wooden sides. All parts are present, including the end clips. The fretwork is all complete and the bellows appear to be good. It looks like someone has done some sympathetic restoration in the past. There is a air-leak from the left end, which could be due to the old leather seals. (The handstraps have been replaced since the picture below) The concertina comes with a strong Peli case, so I am happy to sell it to the UK or abroad. For more pictures, please see the E-bay listing (Item number 335987126946). Looking for £225 + postage. Edited June 1 by Peter Smith Change wording
Ken_Coles Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Your ebay listing is not visible in the US; I had to go to ebay.co.uk to find it. You might check how you have it listed. What do the experts think? German, perhaps? Ken
Peter Smith Posted May 30 Author Posted May 30 Thanks for your comments. I had just listed in on the UK Ebay. I will have a look at better ways to list it. I think its German in origin, as you suggest but it would be interesting to hear from anyone who knows more about this. Peter

Peter The action and reeds in the pics on your eBay listing do look German, or at least German-style: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335987126946
Takayuki YAGI Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Off the topic but hidden bellows construction reminds me of this one: https://concertinamuseum.com/CM00405.htm

Not sure how easy it would be to play. Peter
