Lachenal & Co. 33 key Peerless concertina

Lachenal & Co. 33 key Peerless concertina, made specially for John C. Murdoch & Co. serial number 119094, with trade mark stamped handles, pierced rosewood end plates and hexagonal body, fitted with bone buttons, together with mahogany case, the concertina measures 15.5cm wide Condition report: The instrument looks to have been refreshed overall, the wood finish is matt and the interior cloth beneath the pierced faces has possibly been replaced. The bellows appear to be free of holes but the points of some corners have thin leather caps repairing holes. The instrument plays with plenty of volume however three keys do not function correctly and whilst they make some sound could do with some attention to play. The two leather hand straps have been replaced. The case is worn from use, has lost the handle and the interior fabric is coming away in areas.

Sold for £750
