This is a Lachenal Amboyna Edeophone Treble with steel reeds in a smaller size (6″ across the flats). It has been fitted with new pads and valves, and has been tuned to concert pitch (A=440hz).

This is the sort of concertina that is almost impossible to find a duplicate of. It is a beautiful amboyna Edeophone with gold fittings (although most of that gold plating has worn off over the years), but the main thing that makes it unique is its smaller size- measuring 6″ across the flats as opposed to 6 and 1/4″. It’s a really nice player with a great set of reeds- light, responsive and with a gorgeous rounded tone. This is a special instrument.

Pictured is some damage to the side rails. Amboyna is a fragile wood, and very difficult to repair/replace. The amboyna on the ends is in very good condition.
