Thank you so much for this info.

Hey! I am in the research-to-buy stage and I was wondering if anyone had any experience purchasing from Libertybellows.com. If so, mind sharing your experience with me? I would love to know how it went. Either here or feel free to DM me. I search the forum but didn’t find any specific information about folks experiences, just a few listings. Thanks!

Had a great time with Ken and Priscilla yesterday! Wow I get how folks fall in love with this instrument. I think for now I am going to focus on finding a used stagi or rochelle anglo listing in the US to get me started. I am still interested in 30 button but also exploring 20 buttons at a good price. Thank you so much @Ken_Coles! What a gift to get to hold so many different versions.

Thank you! That is very helpful. Hopefully in the next couple weeks I will be able to test out a few concertinas and get a feel of what might work for me. I will make sure to take this into consideration.

Thank you so much! I appreciate the support to get connected with folks 😊

That would be amazing! I can travel as well. I would love to play around with a few to get a feel 🌻 Let me know the best way to contact you directly.

I found this one: https://www.ebay.com/i/353169498832?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=353169498832&targetid=945396728061&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9005913&poi=&campaignid=10828222509&mkgroupid=113472716144&rlsatarget=pla-945396728061&abcId=9300397&merchantid=263045417&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5-GH7qjw6wIVxpyzCh2xxwVrEAQYBSABEgKYjvD_BwE What do folks think of the Trinity College AP-1130 Anglo-Style Concertina 30b?

Interesting! I just looked at the Wren 2 and it is nice. I was thinking 30 button would keep me using the beginner concertina a little longer but also, I should consider the 20b versions more.

To clarify a bit: $500 USD is my stretch amount that I am able to pay at this point. I would prefer to pay a little less but am trying to be careful to not buy junk if I can avoid it. I am seeing a lot of stuff on amazon and that has been terrifying!

Thanks, I have been thinking a lot about this and am still debating myself. Trying to get a clearer idea since there are so many varieties!

Yeah that would probably be less easy to loan. I am always worried about overseas shipments getting lost. I don't think I could stand the guilt if something like that would happen!

Thank you so much! I will learn some more and def will ask questions if I cant find my answers.

I am located in Pittsburgh, PA

Thank you so much! I appreciate the lead ☺️

Hi, I am a beginner looking for a used concertina in good working order. I am looking at other sites, listings and new options but at this time as a woman dealing with unemployment in the US due to covid, hoping there is someone out here who has one they no longer play and would like to rehome to a hopeful enthusiast with some time on her hands. Happy to pay a reasonable amount, not trying to make anyone feel undervalued or ask anyone to give me anything for free :3 Please get in touch if you have anything I might be interested in. Edit: I am currently looking for something $500 USD or less; used or new.
