so i've been playing around on a schilling toy accordion for a while now and have gotten really into the idea of buying a real concertina. unfortunately i have no idea what so ever what kind to buy. i've been getting into klezmer, gypsy, eastern european type music and would like to use these styles to play concertina in a modern, rock, neo-folk sort of situation.
anyway, i'm a poor college student so i'm not able to spend a lot of money on a really good concertina. maybe you can give me some advice on what to start out on. i know i've read a lot that people buy cheap beginner concertinas and then quickly realize they need to switch to a better brand or model. what would be your beginner suggestion and then maybe an upgrade suggestion? any advice would be great, thanks so much!
