Anglo-Irishman Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Temptation, temptation!! Nothing to do with the widespread MIAS (Musical Instrument Acquisition Syndrome) - it's just that my real name happens to be John E. Dallas. I recently bought a zither-banjo by the maker of the same name for sentimental reasons, although I already had two good Windsor zither-banjos. I've also contemplated bidding for a Jedcertina (a piano-duet concertina devised by the said J.E. Dallas and made, apparently, by Lachenal) on Ebay, but the price was too high for its musical usefulness. Zither-banjos - even pre-1915 specimens like mine - cost a fraction of the price of a playable concertina, and at least I play the banjo! And now this! A good, English-made 30-button Anglo with my name on it! Oh dear, oh dear, what shall I do! Cheers, John (E. Dallas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hello John.....just give in to your MIAS temptation! Geoff Crabb advised me that his family made these concertinas...for J.E. Dallas. The concertina has a nice "warm" sound. (My Dipper anglo 40 button concertina will be ready in April after a 9 year wait....so I am selling a few of my concertinas to pay for the "once in a lifetime Dipper concertina).
