  1. I heard someone comment at a recent session that there seems to be relatively few younger people playing the English Concertina in comparison to other types of concertinas especially the Anglo. The popularity of Irish music is obviously a factor. There are others. But given that it is a great instrument in its own right are there any places where the English is flourishing?
  2. Hi Pete am interested but not sure if postage to UK would make it impractical. Will pm you.
  3. Again, well done Henrik. The updated website gives an excellent insight into the development of your fascinating design ideas. Your building and design skills are impressive. It is great that your work is being recognised and taken up by others.
  4. Might it be possible to sell a concertina through one of the respected restorers. It would verify it’s credentials and suggest a fair price.
  5. Seems a lot for the potential condition if it’s for real.
  6. Got this download CD recently and have hardly stopped playing it. Simply a delight to listen to the rolling rhythms and subtle playing and ornamentation. A bit of a trend to fast tunes with many young players in Scotland just now so this is real tonic. Pure quality.
  7. Now £550 Ono. would also swap for Wheatstone MayFair EC.
  8. Sounds like a really nice box. Would be great to see a picture as I have never seen or heard of one before.
  9. This is a nice 48 key Lachenal tutor model no. 43739. The ends are in good condition as are the 5 fold bellows. The instrument is in nice tune. It has brass reeds and has a soft sound. Comes with the original, I think, wooden hexagonal box) Has the potential for further restoration to bring it to a high standard. The instrument can be seen in Edinburgh. Would post within the UK. It will not be on eBay etc Being offered at a competitive price of £550 (plus postage if required) Please pm if interested Thanks
  10. Thanks, got a “copy” of this. Chust sublime.
  11. Anyone know where I could get a copy of A touch of Clare by the great Kitty Hayes?
  12. Is anybody making concertina buttons / keys.
  13. Sorry yutsi the pm wouldn’t work have you got your email or you could try me through personal messenger. Anyway I’m interested in the concertina. If you can let me know. Thanks
  14. Thanks for that. Yes a restoration nightmare but useful for a few spares if at a realistic price.
  15. I am looking for a 36 or a 30 key EC Wheatstone MayFair. Prefer reasonable condition but would consider anything. Potential exchange for nice Lachenal 48 tutor model or a 20 button Anglo (possibly Lacehenal) Thanks Paul still looking for 36 button W May Fair (May 18)
