Description

This is a lovely, late Victorian concertina with 48 keys and what looks like the origional hexagonal mahogany wooden box.
​      I did a little research asking around some of my "hey nonny nonny" friends and found that it is an English Lachenal concertina with 48 keys, brass reeded bore button. No 21256.

   The concertina is in a pretty good condition with the bellows in an undamaged condition and all the buttons present to the mahogany ends and just slight wear to the leather on the mohogany sound box ends.
   I am informed a couple of the buttons stick and the concertina seems to play well with a lovely tone to the notes, the white keys having note indications. 
​   There is some slight damage and restoration to the fret work on the one side end that looks ok and needs no further repair.
​  The origional hexagonal wood box is in a nice condition, looking to be of mahogany with the inside red baise quite worn  and the leather handle to the top lid missing, easily replaced.  There is no key to the lid.
     The concertina fitting very snuggly in the box only one way with the leather finger holds sliding into their own slot.
​           I am told it dates to 1890-1900.

                          A low start with UK p/p, £6.75p.
 

  Thanks to Black Adder  for the "hey nonny nonny" comment! 
 

     Please, no interesting questions that will make me cry as I am not party to information on this instrument and certainly no musician.    I will try and be as helpful as possible!

                                                        Sold as described!

Don't get me wrong on the hey nonny bit! I spent some wonderful nights a good few years ago in the High Level Bridge inn in Newcastle on Tyne. Alistair Anderson on concertina and the superb High Level Ranters.  Got my first hit of wonderful Nortumbrian pipes there and still brings tears to my eyes!
