    Turning End Bolts

    Alex,

     

    That's great that you can make your own end bolts. Making all the parts yourself is very "one of a kind craftsmanship" . If I had the machinery I would try some of that stuff myself. I've been following the different steps on your blog. I really like what you have done with your reed manufacturing. Definitely a lost art. I sometimes think that if I could travel back in time I would look in on all the concertina factories that I could find and see what happened first hand.

    Ed,

     

    I am happy to hear that you finally solved the mystery of the..

    RARE Rosalie Dipper Bellows #117 Concertina Squeezebox Accordion Squeeze Box.

     

    Just quoting the original ebay listing because the people who sold it didn't spend much time researching this truly rare find.

     

    I wonder if the "small size" was a 5 5/8? I am sure it was a piece of art that you could play!

    Kayne,

     

    I also own a South African Wheatstone 30b Anglo. I've had to buy every concertina I own without getting to try it. I bought it from a guy on ebay. He emailed me a couple of sound clips and I bought without the luxury of getting to play it. I also bought a concertina once and then returned it to the buyer. I spent a lot of time going through the process and paid the shipping both ways. Playing the concertina has definitely been an investment of money! Good luck with your search.

     

    Cheers,

    Nate
