My first box, a Saltarelle Nuage, bought nearly two years ago, the sound is magic!!
And this beauty arrived last week, extremely responsive and balanced, a Cairdin 2 voice, it takes me miles away!
Here’s a link to some photos of my old Hohner Deluxe Double Ray, which years of energetic use have made into a true thing of beauty. Notice the bent grill, the stained, ripped grill cloth, the scratches and dings, the worn bellows tape, the area on the edge of the keyboard where 40-odd years of thumbs have eroded away the paint and even some of the wood. That’s my cat Kyosaku posing with the box in the fourth pic.
I mainly play my Catagnari Fazzy these days, and of course it’s a beautiful instrument too, but in a totally different way.
The my new Beltrami accordion!
This morning Mr. Beltrami called me and said me that on of this accordion is in Chicago…
The owner is listed in this forum?
This Hohner G/C is the box I usually practice on. The picture is old, now that it’s repaired and getting played every day, there’s no dust on it. 
Congratulations on the new forum.
I’ll bookmark it.
Here is a picture of one of my concertinas
I hope I did that correctly
Ha! I’d never have pegged you as going for something so fancy Peter 
Nice looking piece of work there.

It’s actually my son’s, I am only ever so often allowed to even touch it. 
Heh heh, I suspected as much.

I get tot pick tunes out on it when he’s in school. 
That concertina is a lovely sounding old box, it’s actually quite plain to look at except for the fretwork but it’s a very sturdy, well made and well playing instrument.
I may be quite happy playing a cheap whistle but there is a considerable gain playing very well made pipes or a good vintage concertina, no fuss over that from me.

I admit concertinas are the best looking instruments imo, they also give me that mysterious hidden beauty kinda look.
Mysterious and hidden because i haven’t a clue how to play them.
But i love the sound. That way i enjoy them too
nice looking work, Bob!
I don’t have any pictures of my concertina, and even if I did I wouldn’t know how to post them here, but if you want to get an idea of what it looks like (in complete anatomical detail) check out this webpage from Kensington Concertinas:

The photo of the completed concertina in the middle of the bottom row is pretty much what mine looks like. That’s concertina maker Dana Johnson, the man behind the Kensington brand, and his wife Becky in the bottom right photo.
Rob G - your Black Dot looks bigger than mine. Does “Deluxe” mean it has more than 2 voices?
Here’s a shot of mine. Many similar stains and dents. But the swastikas show up better than on yours! It’s unusual in two respects - it’s black, and it’s been retuned to C#/D. I got it as a backup/travel box from a repairer in NE England named Theo Gibb, who’s a very good fellow to know if you’re in that part of the world.
I was thinking of selling it a while back but friends urged me to keep it for its looks - like a classic Remington portable typewriter, one said.
For my main squeeze I recently graduated from a Saltarelle Irish Bouëbe - great box, once it was broken in - to this here yoke. A very well engineered piece of machinery. Twelve basses - liberation! Three MMM voices - heaven.

Whoa, that’s a sexy Hohner. How old is it?
The “Deluxe” model has three (MMM) reeds per note, yeah. I don’t think mine has ever had a proper tuning – it’s wet enough to interfere with tv reception.
“Of a certain age.” Theo Gibb said it was probably from the 1970s. (Like a lot of sexy creatures.)
…wet enough to interfere with tv reception.
Mine was tuned dry. The sound could do with a bit of humidifying for my taste but it does sound very much like Josephine Marsh’s box.
Hmm, well the picturte hoster I use doesn’t allow me to post a pic here, but if you follow the link

you should see a picture of my 6-year old niece Amy holding my Castagnari Lilly. She got the shoulder strap over the wrong shoulder, but I don’t think it made much difference to her playing.
The concertina on the cover of this brochure has a good chance of being my concertina’s twin brother. According to the Wheatstone ledgers 2 were made at the same time. I don’t think mine is the one in the picture because it was probably sold before the brochure came out.

My concertina looks exactly like that one, but of course a little older!
Edited to add apostrophe…
And agian for grammar…
