  1. Hi all, I’m auctioning off my used but in good condition Rochelle (Anglo, 30 Keys) with softcase and tutor book (just uppgraded to the Wren) The starting price is 1900 Swedish kronor, about €183 / £152 / $200. Tradera is the Swedish equivalent to ebay but it’s open to international bidders and has English. Apart from safer payment options the postage I can offer becomes MUCH lower. Check it out at https://www.tradera.com/en/item/210406/533340986/30-key-anglo-concertina-rochelle
  2. Really nice little documentary :-)
  3. "But maybe owlgal is thinking of a sort of combination, such as a weekend (or week, or series of evenings, or...) where several individuals each build their own instruments from supplied parts/kits under the watchful eye and direction of an "instructor"? I believe there's an annual event in England for doing just that with melodeons, but I haven't yet heard of one for concertinas." That's exactly what I mean :-) I also just received the repair manual book which will be interesting reading.
  4. Has there ever been a building course or thoughts of one? I've look through Bob Tedrows great photo series http://hmi.homewood.net/twitterzephyr/ on how to build one so I know it's fairly complicated.
  5. Thanks all, I like taking a week off in May-July to go do something and it's nice to know that there are some concertina alternatives.
  6. I'll get back to you.
  7. Are there any concertina courses (a weekend or longer) held in Europe/US during the summer?
  8. All good ideas. What I was thinking was a general collection thread so people know what books are out there. :-)
  9. Thanks, I'll try that out :-)
  10. Tutor books and general fact books about concertinas.
  11. Is there a book thread in the forum? If not I can start one :-)
  12. The straps just seemed to make it easier to pull the concertina out of a tight case. The Rochelle always stretches bit but maybe that's okay?
  13. There is some slight buzzing with one or two notes of my Rochelle, is this something that I can adjust myself or..?
