    What kind of advice?

    Who made the concertina? With a serial number, it sounds like
    one of the better ones. The most common ones were made by Lachenal or
    by Wheatstone, though there were other makers, especially when your
    father bought it.

    With 31 buttons, it sounds like an Anglo system, not the English
    system which I use. (That is, it will have a different note on press vs
    draw for each button.) And at 31 buttons, it sounds more like an
    extended Anglo, not the simplest flavor, which would be typically about
    20 buttons.



    I live in South Africa 40 ks from Durban. Half an hour from Durban My
    home phone number is 031 916 3709

    Too long a distance for a phone call, especially since I don't
    know what your time zone happens to be. I'm in the EST (Eastern
    Standard Time) in the United States.

    Good Luck,
