Summary

Full Description: Though of 48-Key format,this instrment's end-bolts, screws, action and reeds are dissimilar to British-made instruments. Inner markings are all in pencil, and "D" and "G" indicate left and right sides. Reeds have large stamped note-names, and thumb-straps and finger-rests are secured with broad flat-head steel woodscrews. It may have been marketed via a UK dealer, since the bellows have later, ill-sized papers of British design.
