Great replies, thank you.
It's an endlessly fascinating subject to me.
So why is it that the English like d/g, the French like g/c and
a/d, while the Germans prefer c/f?
Are those standard key signatures for each contries folk music?
I've kinda got my head around the ITM oriented
opinions on the semi-tone sysyems.

I wondering about melodeons, quite a bit lately.
Something about waltzs played on those appeals to me.
And that you can get a decent box for relatively cheap.
So..
How many of you play, what key or keys, and what genre?

It's a Tedrow concertina, but not Bob Tedrow.
I don't get it.
Is there another Tedrow cocertina maker besides Bob Tedrow?
-
I saw a video of our own member Bob M. demo-ing a Tedrow
30 button at Liberty Bellow.
Only reason I mention it is that the price looks good.
(I don't have any connection with Liberty Bellows,
caveat emptor,YMMV,disclaimer,etc.)

Somebody's got to follow Bob's gorgeous piece.
So here is mine.

You could also try putting up the same post at other music forums.

It will take time and a little effort, but may be it will
save you some shekels.

I'm getting to be quite a big fan Clive Williams and his box playing.
Looks like others here double on the Melodeon as well.

Congratulations.
Stunning instrument, wow.

Great sounding concertina.
Congratulations!!!

That was great, love the blues.
I wonder if he covers Killing Floor?

I recently bought a Wren and had it shipped over for a decent price. I started on a Rochelle and found it too big for my hands and pretty stiff. I am finding the Wren easier to play and the right size for my hands. It is apparently assembled in the Irish Musik workshop and tweaked and tuned before sending out. I have no complaints with it as my starter box and hope to trade up for a nicer one when I can. Until then...it's been good to learn on.
Hello and welcome.
What kind of music do you usually play?
-
My Marcus is steel reeded, but I don't worry about the reeds.
It's the sound board that's a concern.
Normal humidity around here is 40-60%.
Which perfect for pipe reeds, wood instruments, and strawberries growing.
-
The weather around here has been near zero humidity.
An interior high sends dry desert air to the coast.
Bottom line is that I can't play my concertina.
Anyone get similar conditions?
-
Very kind of you to say so.
Thanks!

Another brilliant vid. Love the tasteful over dub.Irish tunes being more or less my comfort zone, I thought I'd take advantage of the November theme one more time before the American Thanksgiving holiday preempts any further productivity this month.
Here's a favorite O'Carolan tune of mine, and one that doesn't get played as often--in this neighborhood, anyway--as some of the others. I like the way it sits on the concertina, and it's also a nice candidate for some Stupid Overdubbing Tricks.

Here's my effort. A humble polka.
Was trying to go for The Rights of Man, but I'm choking on the b part.

Seventeen Hippies rock, though I'd prefer to play it more trad.
Still, it's all fun.

Welcome to the forum!Hi all.
It was me who purchased the Peacock to upgrade from my Elise.
I had been looking at getting one and would have had to pay $2600 plus shipping, 3% import tax, 20% VAT and possibly a handling cost.
The concertina is as new, has the Wicky layout, has been played very little, has a hard case included and I was sat at home a day later getting used to the extra buttons I am very happy with the deal.
I will now have an Elise for sale in the SW of England very soon.

Congratulations on getting a wonderful upgrade too.
I believe that most of the duet fans here love having new company.

The good news is that if you did want to get new bellows it
is commonly replaced item. After all they were only meant to last
one hundred years.
The bad news is that good bellows will be pricey.
All that skilled labor....

You could probably get 4500-5000 GBP if you sell it yourself.
Less if you sell it to a dealer for cash in hand today.
I don't consider it greedy to ask what the market will bear.
Put it on ebay with a reserve of 4500?
Congratulations on getting a C. Jeffries!

How about a tune, waltz, called Thirty Two by Larry Unger.
Here is a taste played on melodion.
