Lachenal Edeophone

Lachenal Edeophone 48 key treble no. 56581, built ca. 1923.

Description:

Amboyna ends with ebony border (French polished).
48 glass keys.
new 7 fold bellows.
high precision riveted replacement action.

      This was my principle instrument for classical and contemporary repertoire for many years, before
       I developed the Parnassus models.
       I used it for recordings of 'Pinsk and Blue' by Alla Borzova, 'Song of the Sea' by Oliver Hunt, and the
       'Concerto for Concertina and String' by James Cohn on this instrument (XLNT Label).   Although it is
       loud enough to 'compete' with a concert grand piano or orchestra, it still has a warm tone.
       This instrument has been restored by the Concertina Connection.
