Current makes of concertina
Daniel Hersh replied to Daniel Hersh's topic in General Concertina Discussion
Already listed (along with the Swan) at the end of the Student/Basic/Starter section. -
The ebay one is here. I would guess that if it says Made in Italy somewhere on the concertina, then it's almost certainly a rebadged Bastari/Stagi. If it doesn't say that, it's probably one of the Chinese instruments mentioned by Ken. In either case, not a great concertina, but might be worth considering for a starter instrument if the price is low enough.

Your best bet for finding an answer would be to email Concertina Connection at info@concertinaconnection.com and ask them about it. -

How about #189881? It's a rosewood-ended 30-key C/G Anglo. -
Dating A Lachenal From The Serial Number
Daniel Hersh replied to johnconstable's topic in Concertina History
Thanks - so the one on eBay would likely have been made no more than three or four years after the first Lachenal Anglo. -

Daniel Hersh replied to Daniel Hersh's topic in General Concertina Discussion
Thanks, Alex - I'll try to keep an eye out for when he actually starts producing and selling them, since https://www.facebook.com/qadasimusic/posts/pfbid0FqdLqCSnUDj3XtgD9EhGBgE9WASAb6jrcEzgsjT1heCuPJdQjFR1i2yvPw3zRVd1l says "The Qadasi squashbox production line will be in full swing soon!"

Looking for a Duet Concertina, advice or offers
Daniel Hersh replied to David Audette's topic in Buy & Sell
There's some good info about duet options in this article: https://www.concertina.net/iv_duetguide.html . -
Here are a couple from the American comic strip writer and artist Walt Kelly, taken from his book Songs of the Pogo.

Thanks very much for doing this! I had always thought of the Stagi/Brunner firm as a bit of a "black box", with rumors occasionally floating around but not much firm information about how they actually operated. It's interesting to me that Concertine Italia has part-time specialists coming into to fine-tune (and install?) the reeds and to do the wood work. I suspect this is tied into the fact that they're in a major free-reed manufacturing region. Google Maps says that the accordion-making center Castelfidardo is a 15-minute drive from Recanati, and 15 minutes farther away is Osimo, where the reed-maker Cagnoni is located.

replacing a lever arm...
Daniel Hersh replied to Lleanne's topic in Instrument Construction & Repair
David - thanks again for this suggestion. You were right on both counts - a local machinist could do it (and did do it) and it was expensive, but the problem is solved. -
