Lachenal Concertinas
Founded in the 1850s by Swiss engineer Louis Lachenal, Lachenal & Co. was the most prolific of the London-based concertina makers. Lachenal spent years as a craftsman with the iconic Wheatstone & Co., honing his craft, before moving on to found his own company.
Lachenal is noted for his introduction of innovative mass-production techniques to concertina manufacturing. His new concertina design led his company to become one of the best known concertina producers of the era.
Dating Lachenal concertinas is not as easy as with other vintage instruments such as Wheatstones for example. Researchers are attempting to compile databases containing all known dating information for Lachenal concertinas. However, this will take time and there are gaps still to be filled.
