Mark Davies Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Looking at the pattern of the fretwork I would suggest it is a concertina made by George Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Mark, is this a unanimous verdict???? Yours, Neil I have a Jones just like that although I've just noticed that it seems to have Lachenal type action. I thought Jones instruments always had rivetted action. Edited April 5, 2006 by Paul Read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Prebble Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Looking at the pattern of the fretwork I would suggest it is a concertina made by George Jones. Looks pretty standard Jones to me. Don't envy anyone the task of shifting those end bolts. I suspect they may well snap under little pressure. Another thought - that much rust might hint at possible significant rusting to the reeds Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the fretwork on your concertina exactly the same as the concertina that I pictured (and have now bought) above? You mentioned that Jones' action was always rivetted.......is the action on your instrument rivetted? If you answer postive to both these questions i wonder what i have bought? Help!!!!!!!!
