Daniel Hersh Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 It's here on eBay. The action is what I think of as Lachenal-style, but the fretwork looks more Jones-like to me. Can someone more knowledgable than me comment on this one? Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takayuki YAGI Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I am not sure, but I saw a similar fretwork one on eBay last month as unknown-maker. ( I am not a winning bidder.. ) Fretworks are not exactly the same but similar. And different form current one, that had parallel reed pan. I hope you find it informative. Thanks, Taka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Jowaisas Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Interesting! I used a zoom photo feature to examine the action pivots in one of the pictures. I'm fairly sure they are the "G" type used by Nickolds with the exception of one that seems replaced by a "hoop". The close up picture of the reed pan reveals the distinctive Nickolds "notch" in the reed shoe clamp on both sides of the clamp screws. There is always something to learn in examining a concertina. I have a Bb 26b which has fretwork that is done with the same treatment. Looks like a Jones but not quite. My instrument has a parallel reed pan and what I would consider typical Jones rivet action. I will have to go back and examine the 26b for other Nickolds features. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
