FS: English concertinas

[SteveS]

I have the following concertinas for sale. 

 

All are located in Asti, Italy.

If you are interested in any of these instruments, please send me a PM and I'll happily send more info & pics.

 

Reason for sale - renovating a house and I now no longer have a workshop and no time to restore concertinas.

 

 

1. Lachenal New Model, 56 key treble, rosewood ends  (€400)
This has suffered water damage to one end and the veneer has lifted.

Not in playing condition.
No case
Requires full restoration

2. Wheatstone Aeola, 56 key tenor-treble  (€3000)
Full working condition, tuned to concert pitch.  New bellows at some point recently.
No case.

3. Lachenal New Model, 44 key baritone  (€3300)

Good playing condition - tuned in Old Philharmonic pitch

Believed to be from Oldham Concertina Band.

Case

4. Jones (?) 56 key extended treble  (€1200)

This is a very rare or unique concertina.  Serial number 2 stamped internally.

Range of concertina extends down from a treble - not quite to a tenor-treble.

I believe the range of this instrument is the same as a guitar but 1 octave higher.

This instrument may have been a prototype for the Brothers Webb (late Victorian-era clowns and circus act) since the range and fretwork appear to be similar to a Webb concertina.

Not in playing condition.
Case
Requires full restoration

Not in playing condition.
Tatty wooden case (unserviceable)
Requires full restoration

 

6. Lachenal New Model, 56 key baritone  (€3500)

Believed to be from Oldham Concertina Band.
