My 55 button Jeffries Crane was made in the 23, Praed Street period. It needed quite a bit of professional ‘tlc’ to get it playing well, and around 20 of the reeds are not Jeffries reeds. The concertina is heavy (2.35kg) but it is a joy to play & not too loud. The air button on the right-hand side was added by Andrew Norman.

Nickel-plated nickel-silver, metal buttons,6-fold bellows. One end stamped C.Jeffries, 23 praed St. with a “double hit” stamp. This is a very loud concertina!
