"The Good Natured Man " - Lachenal Bb/F Anglo Concertina

[PalmyBruce]

Beautiful! I've heard that tune before and always loved it, so cheerful and positive. I have a Lachenal English 40 key concertina that I've been learning on for a year. I just MUST learn that tune. Every two weeks I've been putting up a YouTube video of my struggling progress. Thanks agCheers, Bruce Thomson in New Zealand.

Turns out its actually from around 1860!

@tradlessons WOW! ............ Lucky You!

Of course, whatever the age, it still sounds gorgeous!

I dated my Lachenal at a detailed listing by year of the serial numbers at a website searchable by typing in the following phrase within quotes:

91 Wheatstone and Lachenal Dates of Manufacture (Concertina)

@PalmyBruce Turns out its actually from around 1860 based on the serial number.

Looks to be from 1920-1930, I'm trying to pin it down more precisely.

Lovely music.

Any idea how old your Concertina is?
