Jim Munro Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Crabb 32 Button Anglo C/G Serial #8870,circa 1909 Ball & Beavon Excellent or better condition. I bought this concertina approximately 5 years ago and it was completely rebuilt by John Connor at the time. It is loud without being strident, and plays easily. Tuned A440. C/C drone. Case included. In the words of Geoffrey Crabb: “Crabb built instruments supplied to Ball Beavon were originally exactly as those supplied to C Jeffries and for direct sale. Anglo's were usually made in batches of three and any of these could have gone to either of the above or sold direct to customers.” Get a Jeffries like instrument without the price tag. $5700 US plus shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nicely presented intrument. What kind of case does it have? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Munro Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 As I say in the ad, the concertina was completely rebuilt, at which time the bellows were replaced. The case is not original. It is blocked and is of the Buttonbox or type Suttner uses. I will try and post a picture soon. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
