This is a Wheatstone Aeola Baritone Treble with steel reeds. It has been fitted with new pads, valves, straps and springs, and has been tuned to concert pitch (A=440hz).

As you can probably tell, this is a stunning instrument, and would be one of Wheatstone’s most expensive instruments when it was made. It is a gorgeous combination of amboyna wood and gilded fittings, and looks incredible. Thanks to a full re-spring, it now also plays to match the looks- a light action with a very responsive set of reeds. The wooden ends have had repairs to broken amboyna (which is always a more fragile wood), but they have been done very well and are hardly noticeable. This is a very, very special concertina.
