Malcolm, Concertinas were listed in the Great Exhibition (1851) prospectus of Julien Jaulain, of Paris, who also listed flutinas, and a small harmonium called the "panorgue". Another French maker was Alexandre, whose firm did a lot of harmonium business with Wheatstone's. There were also makers in Germany & Austria-Hungary. I seem to recall hearing of one in Sweden(?) too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
