This is a Lachenal New Model 56-Key Tenor Treble with steel reeds. It has been fitted with new pads, valves and straps, it has had a bellows rebind, and been tuned to concert pitch (A=440hz).

It’s incredibly rare to find a Tenor-Treble of this size- it is only slightly larger than a standard Treble concertina. It is a pretty responsive player, and has a balanced, if not slightly brighter tone. Whilst it isn’t the quality of most Tenor-Trebles (as they are usually the top-end models from each maker), you won’t find a Tenor-Treble this affordable or this small anywhere. A fantastic opportunity to explore the lower end a Tenor-Treble provides without breaking the bank.
