Lachenal “Excelsior” with brass reeds, 48 steel buttons, ebony ends. Green and gold patterned leatherwork and bellows. Serial number 18198 dated around 1873. Very good condition for 150 years old! Bought for £1,400. With soft case.

I bought this instrument, reconditioned by Chris Algar, around 5 years ago but have not been able to learn to play it due to a worsening RSI condition.
