This is a Lachenal 30-Key Anglo in Bb/F with steel reeds. It has been refinished, fitted with new bellows, pads, valves, bushings and straps, and been tuned.

This concertina started life out as a lightwood Lachenal Anglo with a good set of steel reeds. It has since been stained black and bushings have been added as well as new 6-fold bellows, making it a much more premium instrument- which is what the quality of reeds deserve. In all reality it plays very similarly to a rosewood Lachenal anglo, but simply can’t be priced the same due to the less intricate woodwork and departure from its original condition- making this a bargain. You won’t find 30-Key steel-reeded anglos in Bb/F for this price very often, especially in this kind of condition.
