PhilMeyers Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I can't believe it, but I finally have my Dipper. It's a County Clare with rosewood ends and it is a gorgeous piece of work. Also said goodbye to my trusty old Wallis (Lachenal) and shipped it to its new home in Canada. Anyway, here's the new addition to the family: I must say that I 'm a little nervous about taking it out to sessions. I don't think I own anything as hard to replace (not counting the wife and kids).

Jody Kruskal Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Ooooooh, that's pretty. Break open the champagne. How long did you have to wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I own anything as hard to replace (not counting the wife and kids). Gosh! Do your wife and kids realise you value them so highly? There are, I am certain, people on this very forum who have sold their families into slavery to fund the purchase of a particularly fine concertina. It sure is pretty, though. Take care of it, but do take it to sessions. It's a real joy playing a good instrument in a good session. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterT Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Congratulations, Phil. Looks like you will now have to update your interests, and how about a new photograph showing you with a beaming smile. Welcome to the Dipper club, Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 There are, I am certain, people on this very forum who have sold their families into slavery to fund the purchase of a particularly fine concertina. I'm working on it, but I'm still trying to find a buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilMeyers Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 Thanks everyone. To answer the questions so far. I waited six years for it. The tone is loud, clear and sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignick Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I am pleased for you. I am also pleased for me, as i shuffle one place further up the queue. Does the line continue around the corner, the next one, the one after that? Is it too late to get a VIP pass and go straight through the velvet rope? Oh, take it out to meet other concertinas. Teach it all your tunes and let it sing them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
