Rhomylly Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 How good were the old Case concertinas and how good can they be if restored by someone who knows what they're doing (i.e. not me)? I've seen a couple listed for sale lately, and it's got me wondering. Rhomylly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Well, since no-one else has replied I'll stick my neck out. SFAIK George Case was one of the early makers who made good concertinas, on a par with contemporary Wheatstones, that should be renovated and generally treated in the same way.

Paul Read Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I have just put my George Case for sale on Ebay. The is a beautiful example and I would agree with Chris's assessment that they are the equivalent of the victorian Wheatstones. This one has been retuned and revalved. I'll be sorry to see it go but there is a Wheatstone tenor treble Aeola waiting in the wings and I need the funds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
