s2maur Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 To the best of my knowledge, I am the second and fourth owner of this concertina. Anglo in C/G, black wooden ends done in Celtic knotting, 34 brass buttons, 7 fold bellows, modified Jeffries note layout (see pics for full note layout).Celtic dogs done in brass on each end above the hand rests and a brass medallion (right hand side below hand rest) marked; "R. Scard Maker - Dipper Concertinas - Heytesbury". Comes in a C&R Dipper box w/two securing latches, a handle on the top with an oval placard on the under side of lid that states, "C&R Dipper Concertinas - Innovators - Manufacturers and Exporters". As you can see in the pictures provided below, this instrument is in very good condition. No cracks whatsoever on the action board or reed pan. Note that there is a heart drawn on the bottom side of the right action board with R+P inside and the year 1992 etched below it. My Credentials and credibility are as follows: I have offered for sale and sold many high quality concertinas on the buy and sell forum on C.net over the last 10 plus years which included a metal ended Jeffries, 3 Suttners( 1 of which ended up going back to Ireland with Noel Hill for one of his students), a wooden ended Dipper County Clare to a c.net member in Japan, a wooden ended Carroll and one Wheatstone 48 keyed English and this Dipper which went to (now deceased) C.net member Bill Hamilton and then back to me. I have done business with Chris Algar on more than one occasion, Have purchased two concertinas from Jurgen Suttner, I sent a Lachenal to be hot rodded by Paul Groff, after he moved from Boston to Florida, and then sold that to a Wisconsin friend and fellow concertina player that went to the mid-west NHICS classes with me for 3 years and I also purchased, the above mentioned County Clare, from a C.net member from Louisiana that advertised here, in which we had, now deceased, Button Box Guru Rich Morse broker the transaction for us. Previous quoted prices are void. This will be my last attempt to sell this concertina in this venue. Please, PM if seriously interested in purchasing this high end, high quality Dipper Concertina.

jellyroll Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I bought a Suttner from Ross years ago and the transaction was seamless and the instrument was wonderful, if my kids didn't siphon all my income I would have definitely purchased an additional box from him, Nice looking instrument, GLWS - Dom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2maur Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 This Concertina has now found a new home. Sorry that I did not post this sooner. Thanks to all that looked and be assured that it is going to a good home where it will be played and not wholesaled. Paul, I won't forget to make a contribution to c.net.
