    Description

    I recently found this little beauty at a local swap meet.
    This is a 30 button GC concertina.
    Different note on the push and pull. Anglo model I believe.
    Reeds are super strong and all sound.
    Cosmetically good except for a piece of wood veneer that is missing
    I was in a hurry and it played OK. Needed work but have done it before.
    When I got home, I realized this is a quality instrument.
    Reed plates fitted to quality block with screws on a leather gasket. No wax.
    The rubber under the buttons had dried out so replaced.
    I took off face plate and pulled off each button and refitted with new tubing.
    I've only seen leather on bellows folds on expensive models like wheatstones and lachnels (sp).
    Usually paper. These bellows are air tight and in good condition.
    Action is decent. You may need to muck with the buttons a bit to get them to settle in after I added the button tubing.
    I am a Hohner Erica player.  Not interested in keeping this instrument.
    Please look at all pictures. Please ask me any questions. need more pics Ill take them.
    I am presenting this instrumental fairly. Happy to accept a return but there will be a 15% restock fee
    I will carefully wrap and ship.
    This is a quality instrument.
    Thanks
