Description Type: Anglo-German Concertina Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom Brand: Jeffries
This is a Jeffries stamped 22 key rosewood/bone button B/F# Anglo in concert pitch. Although it is more usual to see these tuned in Bb/F or C/G, this as made to be played in B/F#. The tuning is correct as each note is tuned as per what is stamped on the actual reed! This has just been fully restored with the intention of keeping as much of the original material as possible, while the leather bellows have been worked on, the papers are all original. All reeds have been dismantled/cleaned/reassembled and tuned. It wasn't far off concert pitch so it was sharpened it a little. It has a lovely rounded wooden ended sound, the reeds are very responsive and it is quite LOUD. It has had new springs, pads, valves and reed pan leather strips and is very responsive. Will be posted via royal mail special delivery with insurance, hence the price A great instrument, and a rare one at that. Any questions please ask
