A Lachenal 48 key English concertina No 36264 -c 1895.It has bone buttons, mahogany ends. brass reeds and 4 fold bellows. It comes in its original case which actually works well and has a key!It is different from most concertinas on Ebay in that it is in concert pitch-which almost all aren't-and you would need to spend about £300 to get that done with any instrument that isn't in concert pitch-so always ask the seller-and if they say they don't know-then it almost certainly isn't!This is a great concertina for a beginner to learn the instrument. Most people daren't risk buying an expensive instrument until they are certain that they will enjoy playing-and that they can actually do it. With this concertina there is no risk because it is almost as cheap as the modern, plastic , Chinese copies and will hold its value-which they don't- being worth about half what is paid for them the minute you get them in your hands. Also this is a real concertina. It looks real, sounds real and is a genuine antique.I will give any buyer the same price as is paid for it if it comes back to me in a part exchange upgrade-assuming that it is in the same condition and that the buyer is in the U.K.Postage would be £20-by courier-insured. It would be £60 to the States.Good Bidding!
