This is a rare Lachenal 24-Key Anglo in C/G with steel reeds. It has been fitted with new pads, valves and straps, and tuned to concert pitch (A=440hz).

This is a really great playing instrument. Obviously, it includes four notes that you wouldn’t have on a 20-Key, but it lacks the extra two that you would find on a 26-Key which pretty much sums up it’s usefulness. If you’re looking to upgrade from your first 20-Key with no real desire to play a lot of Irish music then this concertina would be perfect, but if you’re already on a 26-Key then changing to this wouldn’t make sense. Having said that, it plays very well, is pretty quick and has a lovely balanced tone. A really nice thing.
