Hi Noviastar
I live in Bend and am also new to the instrument. I also have a Anglo. Where do you live? In my short time here I have found a wealth of info provided by the good folks here. Enjoy your Rochelle.

You can always tell a good move by the length of time members think about it before replying!
Quite so, but people will be familiar with the time bar, as defined in the minutes of the International MC Conference, September 2002, page 55,249, para 3. If no-one makes a move within the next 6 months the game will be forfeit. So better get your thinking caps on, people!

Well, I wouldn't want to see that happen. Even though I have no clue, I will move on to:
EUSTON SQUARE
Hope that helps.......

OK, I will move to
MANSION HOUSE
Then saunter on up to Coq D'Argent for calamari
(Did I do that right? Total newbie here)

Thanks for the replies. Due to my schedule and related shipping issues, I decided on a Lachenal from Greg Jowaisas. Should be here next week.

Thanks. I replied to his posting with a couple of questions. Awaiting his reply.....

Hi Ben,
Does this include a case? I have not purchased and had shipped from Canada to the US before. What is the process and do you know if there are customs issues?
Thanks, Mike

Would like to replace my Rochelle with a Ceili, Clover, Tedrow, Sherwood, Edgley, Etc. Would also consider an older refurbished instrument. Looking for 30 buttons.
Thanks, Mike

Still available?

Hah! I have no cat, but my dog is quite interested in the concertina until I start to play it. Then he cocks his head and leaves the room. I know I am new, but really!

Will defer to David for the answers to Jim's questions (especially the human skin one), but would like to see some photos. As an aside, I remember seeing those snakes in the Gulf of Tonkin back in the day. Very poisonous and nasty as I recall, just sayin'..........

My comment has no concertina content. I remember as a kid in the 50's clowns were sort of the comedy part of the circus and were generally sort of benign like Clarabelle (sic?), Bozo and Seattle's JP Patches. But lately they have become sinister like the clown in "It" brilliantly played by Tim Curry and Krusty on The Simpsons. My point is I used to enjoy clowns antics but now find them sort of creepy concertina or no. Just my $.02.

Thanks very much for all the info. I have a rental Rochelle on the way. I have my first lesson on Feb 15. In the meantime I will try some on line tutorials on YouTube. The journey begins....... Anyone want to buy a guitar, mandolin or dobro? Ha ha

Hello, new to the site and the concertina. I am a retired guy pushing 70. I currently play guitar and mandolin, and have recently taken up a keen interest in traditional Irish music. I have attended one slow session and intend to attend whenever possible. Being retired, I have lots of time to practice. I have found the guitar is an accompaniment instrument an as such isn't a whole lot of fun in the session. The mandolin is hard to hear, plus I never played any Irish tunes so am cramming hard, but before I get too far along.... I really like the sound of the concertina and plan to rent a 30 button Anglo. My question is given average musical ability (I am no savant-that's for sure) about how long will it take until I feel comfortable in a session? I can get lessons about once a month. Also is my age an issue in learning?
Thanks

Not quite sure what the prior diatribe about the rules and computerization meant, but it's time to change zones (in concert for us in the colonies going to daylight savings time) and move on to
