Lachenal & Co 48 Key English

[Peter Scott]

 

Hi

 

Who would like to restore this Lachenal & Co 48 key English system concertina #23663 estimated circa 1877. Bone buttons with the white notes in white labelled and the "C"s in red, black notes in black, obviously.

 

Have simply cleaned out the dirt and put on new thumb straps. Offers £100 and above please. No personal profit. Lady from our church wants to send proceeds to boys' home project in India she's particularly concerned with, and has asked me to sell it on her behalf. Could put it on ebay, but not familiar with the system plus prefer it to go to someone really interested.

 

Have own Wheatstone of similar date, besides which I don't have the technical ability or patience to repad it and get everything right.
