Thanks for your thoughts! I've heard great things about Suttners. I may need to consider getting on his list. I've decided to buy a hybrid Clare from the Irish Concertina Company second-hand for now, as I really need a new instrument ASAP - I'm still on a Stagi, and it's getting a bit frustrating. Once lockdown is over I can make a pilgrimate to Jürgen Suttner's atelier!

Hi all, I'm new to this forum, and grateful for all the insights I've read here! I've been playing the anglo concertina for about 8 months and am now in the dreaded phase of moving up to an intermediate instrument... I wanted to ask whether anyone might be able to share their experience with the Vintage Concertina from the Irish Concertina Company. It is in a similar price range and appears to have similar components to the 7Mount, which I've heard so many fabulous things about--but I don't think I have a chance of getting my hands on one of those anytime soon (the waitlist is closed).
