  1. Oh,ha! I'm near haugesund. I was in a store in town asking about concertinas before i ordered one online. The storeowner told me theres a dealer of accordions in kristiansand so i guess i could send it there Then. When i checked with them they did have a limited stock but only the horrid looking red one I waited so long for it i dont want to have to send it back and wait months for it to get back to me even if hobgoblin dont decide to argue.
  2. Hm. i wouldnt feel comfortable doing anything to it myself. and being from Norway im just about the only person in the entire country that knows what a concertina even is, let alone a concertina repairman. Ill send them a mail suggesting a reed problem and checking where we go from here. I do expect my instrument to be in working order. Thats so typical my luck after all the trouble of finally getting a hold of one. Thanks for your feedback.
  3. Hay! After months of waiting for shipping and handling i finally got my 20 button anglo Scarlatti. I have never held one before but decided i want to take it up. Immediately on trying it out i notice one key (right hand 3/ f/g) acts differently than the rest. It is harder tto get a note when drawing on this button (i.e playing an f) i have to use more force on the bellows to get this note to sound instead of wheeze. On further inspection i quickly noticed that this instrument has been opened by a person new to the conscept of screws as most of the screws holding the right hand cover has been filed round by using an improvised tool, wrong size or similar. same goes for a few screws on the left cover. This is a second hand concertina from hobgoblin music. have i been sendt a broken concertina or is it normal/to be expected that concertinas have different pressure requirements for certain notes? this will definatively make learning to play way harder.
  4. I just bought my first concertina. A cheap chinese one so i dont know much about concertinas just yet but i dp play the piano. i used to have one and my fingers were strong then, since i played alot and my fingers had strengthened. Now i dont own one anymore and only play whenever im at a place where im around one and since i have lost much of my fingering strength i get worn out and sore in my arms and fingers from playing. So its just to keep training those muscles and keeping them fit im sure
