Chatty concertinist (4/6)

  1. There’s one on Facebook marketplace going for £700, if it’s still available. Peter
  2. Very helpful. I saw a couple of these up for auction in mainland Europe a few yaers ago. This one appearing on Ebay made me wonder how they worked & could be played. Thanks Peter
  3. Many thanks. The name 'Arietta' led me to a Concertina.net discussion a couple of years ago: Peter
  4. I recently saw this on Ebay and am curious to know what it is & how it works. Can anyone help? Thanks Peter https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134919307241?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D259707%26meid%3D015adbd859fe457eabdde477d5c0f8f0%26pid%3D101770%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D134919307241%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p4375194.c101770.m146925&_trkparms=parentrq%3A790958bc18d0ab8c8728ceeefffcb8d8|pageci%3A10afe2df-c41a-11ee-bd27-020fdb6e9714|iid%3A1|vlpname%3Avlp_homepage
  5. I have recentley acquired a very large 'piano' duet - with a range of four octaves. It was damaged in transit & really needs a hard case. If anyone has one they don't want or could point me to possible suppliers, I would be very grateful. I have scoured Ebay & the internet without coming up with any real options. The internal measurement in the case would need to be an absolute minimum of 26cm high x 25cm wide x 30cm long. I would prefer slightly larger internal measurements (+2-3 cm on each axis), to allow for some proper padding. Any help or advice would be gratefully received. Peter
  6. I should have mentioned that I had a chance to play Andrew Norman's bass anglo, when visiting him a while back. It sounded just like it does on his video an dseemed quite responsive - though I'm no expert! Peter
  7. Andrew Norman has put a video of his G/D bass anglo on YouTube:
  8. See https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1768058806980145/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Aee450843-19b5-4477-be12-69219e30e669 I'm pretty sure that's the same concertina. Peter
  9. And now on Ebay!! Peter https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145166688600?hash=item21cc9be158:g:RvIAAOSwKGFkoETd&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4DJ12ES0OOdIVuvz0%2FyAE2dO3Rr3eZd5Mlv%2Bfcg4KXHjHpla5hQlCCzyq%2BzG5m5AhZ3z1An0TPFTMa2yvGGrWnM8htTLQ7lbmYoMkE6Rf%2BcYdJcuxnzIC4hPB0iAH1by0DSkq5A1BwXHFdm52JRbvCUlElfNPWLWDA6k2LMoelVfh1ZWRlADgIOmRDnbRGRq4Wo6udxgkUoR8VBEpmjaqa1IDlWXv10nW%2Fds9qvxFYo1f8OucNjsKh7ZVxjGrqCWeZSSRwwv%2FCfjoMXQhZjrZVH2MwUALVSsZ5kKzYDxa7fl|tkp%3ABk9SR9TL2f-iYg
  10. I am selling my 30-button C/G Anglo concertina as I recently acquired a Crabb anglo and do not use this Lachenal any more. I bought the Lachenal anglo concertina from Barleycorn in September 2018. The rosewood ends are complete and have been refinished. When I bought it, the concertina had newly bushed buttons, new bellows, as well as new pads & valves. The concertina has the Wheatstone layout and has been lightly used over the last 4.5 years. It has not needed any maintenance and it is in concert pitch (just checked against my Korg tuner). The concertina plays well and is Lachenal number 155415. The concertina comes with a soft Fuselli case. I am looking for £1850 and would be happy to include insured post within the UK. I would consider overseas, though protection for loss and taxes from the UK could be costly. Please contact me if you want an estimate of the cost. I would be happy to answer any questions and provide more pictures & a sound file, if required. Please message me with your e-mail address. Many thanks Peter
  11. Are these all English concertinas or a mixture of English and Anglo? Thanks Peter
  12. Or ask Nigel Sture in Kingsbridge, South Devon. http://www.concertinas-uk.co.uk/ Peter
  13. Jody's method of sorting out the problematic buttons works well. I have used it in the past. If you are concerned about removing the pins (& understandably so), there may be someone on concertina.net or a repairer who lives near you who could help. Peter
