dpmccabe Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 (edited) This is a mint-condition Connor C/G I bought from Barleycorn about nine months ago. I'm not sure on the exact age but I'd guess that it is one of his more recent models, probably from within the last 5 years. If someone needs to know the serial number, let me know where to find it and I'll post it here. The instrument is a 30 key (Wheatstone layout) with C/C drone. It has steel reeds in brass frames, riveted action and raised metal ends. It also has a very nice set of 6-fold bellows that give you quite a bit more reach than most 6-fold bellows would. I've played this concertina a lot since purchasing it, so I'd say it's quite a bit more broken-in than it was initially. The intonation is excellent and the concertina is basically in like-new condition. It comes with a new case. For more information on John Connor (I don't believe he has a website): http://www.hobgoblin-usa.com/info/faqconcertina.htm http://www.concertina.net/guide.html#Connor I'm attaching several pictures (they are Chris Algar's originals in case you recognize the distinctive blanket-draped-across-a-chair style). I will also try to post a sound clip tomorrow (Sunday) night. A donation will be made to concertina.net if I sell it here. I'm holding off on the eBay route for now so that forum members have first dibs on it. The price is $3900 plus shipping (just lowered).

I'll be upgrading to another instrument rather soon, so it's time for this one to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpmccabe Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 No offers on this yet, so I'm reducing the price to $3900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceemonster Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 whew, so soon after a sixteen-page hissy fit about what an indignity it is for truly-entitled, "professional" players to have to get on concertina wait lists, it's a relief to know that one virtuoso at least won't have to stoop so low. a boon to the music world, indeed.

dpmccabe Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Irrelevant comments aside, I haven't received any offers for this instrument, so it's off to eBay with it: 190064285132 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
