Duet Concertinas from Barleycorn Concertinas Duet Concertinas Most cheap duets eg 35k Crane and 39k Maccanns concertinas are inexpensive because their range is so limited. They will cost £400+. 46key Maccanns are now very sought after and will cost between £650 and £800 depending on make and model. Example of an Amboyna ended, gold button 48 key Wheatstone Aeola c1935 You would be looking at £800+ for a decent steel reeded 48k Crane or 55k Maccann - Wheatstones always dearer than Lachenals. At present larger Cranes and Maccann, 57 key+ will cost between £1000 and £2000+ with Aeolas being top of the tree. NB Hayden Duet concertinas may be talked about on the net but they are amazingly rare - only about 50 were ever made so don't raise your hopes on finding one and they wouldn't be cheap. Jeffries system duets are also rare but very few people play them so they tend to be cheaper - however not too cheap because the reeds are so valuable.
