C:0: Concertinas
The main links to the many headings and sub-headings within the Concertina Section of the database are summarised here: This section features the research collection of around 350 early instruments, specialising in instruments from British concertina makers working prior to 1860, in the early prototypes from the Wheatstone workshops, and in memorabilia and inventions related to Charles Wheatstone, together with many hundreds of images featuring the instrument and its players. In particular, the new Collection centres on early and unrestored English-made concertinas, to ensure that their leatherwork, tuning, temperament and makers' labels remain in original condition.
Here is a summary of the instruments represented in the
collection, grouped by makers, and in the searchable C-*** number
order. There are links below to the first instrument in each Maker
Section, and to the Maker Section summary pages. There are further links
within each Maker Section summary page that link to some of the instruments
that best illustrate the evolution of the maker's various design features, and
important early and curious models, that best reveal that maker's
instruments.
