This is a Lachenal Edeophone Treble with steel reeds. It has had new ends, bellows, bushings, pads, valves and straps fitted in the last couple of years, and has been tuned to concert pitch (A=440hz).

As you’ll probably be able to tell, this is not a standard Edeophone. Damage to the original ends has meant that they have had to be replaced with flat ends, but it still has the same set of great reeds at the core of it. The only slight downside to the work done to the concertina is that the buttons sit a little higher than they may normally on a concertina, but it doesn’t make the instrument any less responsive- it has a very nice action.

Edeophone-quality reeds, but at a much lower price.
