44 Button Jeffries Bb/f Button Layout

[McIsog]

Just wondering...

I had the pleasure of picking up a Jeffries 44 button Bb/F. (46 Buttons including dead key and air button.)

Is this a 'standard' Bb/F layout? I have not yet marked up the octaves.

And were these instruments originally in this key or were they 'created' from duets?

I could not find any other Bb/F charts > 30 keys. Fantastic sound BTW -

thx,

Dan

 

Edit note - updated the chart with the octaves and corrected some typos on the notes/button - I realize this is not a 'standard' concertina in any way - I was just wondering about the layout - did it look OK or did anyone notice any customizations - err differences from theirs perhaps?
