Crafty, very crafty  But sadly no, this was a simpler and much more annoying purchase |

I'm with vicov ... reckon you've got yourself a concertina type thingy How DID you guess???  It's a Lachenal anglo concertina thing, only 20 keys so easy for a ten-thumbed, tone-deaf noise-polluter like me, and is as old as the hills. It's in reasonable playing shape, a bit battered but it plays nicely and sounds good, so much more so than the Scarlatti monstrosity I got a few years ago and very quickly returned. To the Irish sessions I must go!!  |
