This is a Lachenal 32-Key Anglo in Bb/F with steel reeds. It has been fitted with new pads, valves, bellows, bushings and straps, and been tuned to concert pitch (A=440hz).

This is a really nice example of a very common model of Lachenal Anglo. Lachenal Anglos are always the most messed-around-with concertinas, and always benefit from a full restoration like this one has, to make it look and feel new again. It is very air efficient, and has a lovely tone very typical of a Bb/F instrument- more rounded and mellow than the standard C/G. It is a responsive player, and would be perfect for somebody looking to add to their arsenal of anglos with something in a different key.
