What our concertinas look like?
Rich C R replied to new english's topic in General Concertina Discussion
Looks very nice and you obviously enjoy playing it and that's what matters. -
Very enjoyable, you play a wide and varied repertoire which makes listening to you a different experience each time. Thanks Simon.
-
Sorry Wolf but I fear you may well have a long wait till I am confident enough to post a soundfile....but I shall persevere....?

I've collected my Aeola from Steve, he had it exactly four weeks. I have to say I am absolutely delighted with the work carried out, it plays so well now, a real pleasure. The difference is amazing and I am really 'over the moon', Steve has done a wonderful job and I cant thank him enough. There is no excuse for me now, so its head down and really learn how to play and get the best from this lovely instrument.
-
Wow, that is quite different from what I normally listen too. Excellent!
-
Spoke with Steve today and the good news is he should have it finished this week. I will be collecting it in person, a round trip of about 850 miles. If at all possible I'll collect over the weekend.??
-
Happy to report Steve has emailed, as you say he has a few problems, so all is well. See you there
-
I trust your assumption is correct Pianist, hopefully see you at the Squeeze.. ?
-
I hope to travel from the Glasgow area to the Squeeze. However, I'm not sure it will happen, although I completed the online application form on 16th March and my £25 deposit went through on the 18th, to date I have not heard a thing. I have also emailed Steven Bradley twice but nothing so far.... Hopefully this is just a blip and I'll hear something within the next day or two, fingers crossed.. Anyone else from this forum going?
-
To be fair Geoff, the seller did offer to sort the slow responding keys if I took it to him and he would do it while I waited. He also offered me my money back. However, by this time I had fallen in love with the box and wanted it to receive the best attention.
-
Steve let me know during the week it also required a new wooden bushing board, on the RH side. Fingers crossed the wait wont be too long now.
-
A warm welcome to you Cursing Llama. Pretty sure you will find this forum helpful and interesting.
-
Glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem.... Some of the solutions look interesting.

Jody Kruskal's May 2019 UK Tour
Rich C R replied to Jody Kruskal's topic in General Concertina Discussion
Thanks John but my concern is because last weekend I signed up to advertised weekend in May and have transferred a £25 deposit but so far haven't received any sort of acknowledgement, I hasten to add I have also sent two emails direct to Steven. -
Jody Kruskal's May 2019 UK Tour
Rich C R replied to Jody Kruskal's topic in General Concertina Discussion
Does anyone know why the SWALEDALE SQUEEZE Yorkshire link above is not working? I have an interest because I haven't received a reply or acknowledgement from the organiser Steven Bradley after making an initial £25 deposit for the event. I hope all is well??? -
Thanks Geoff, I already have this excellent CD, thoroughly recommended.
-
Thanks Wolf. I guess there wasn't any so called major improvements during the period 1890-1930
-
Thanks Wolf, I understand what you are saying. However, I just wondered, from a technical point, when was the last upgrade that is generally accepted as being an improvement to the instrument?
-
Thanks Geoff, its seems there are no easy answers as far as these instruments are concerned...
-
That's something for me to look forward to then! ?
-
Sounds exciting. If they came to Glasgow I would go to see them but Dublin is a little too far.
-
Geoff, With the Wheatstone Aeola, were their any beneficial changes (or otherwise) in construction between 1890 and 1930? Thanks for the info on the CD collection 'English International'. I have ordered it and waiting on delivery, should be with me by Fri this week.
