Subject: RE: favourite concertina maker
Some people find the action on my wooden ended Lachenal 30 key Anglo (circa 1890) a little too stiff for their liking, but I've been playing it for around forty years and am used to it.

I tried a Crabb once (belonging to 'Catter Noreen - I was repairing it for her), and found that the action was very light indeed. However, I think that for Morris outdoors it may be just a little too light, as I tend to put my fingers on keys I'm about to play... so I prefer one that fights back a little!
