And now on EBay (with one hour left!). Hmm, guess I could’ve posted this sooner… oh well, most of you have probably seen it already! https://www.ebay.com/itm/195931112119?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=bs7i-xFPQhu&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=bs7i-xFPQhu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Price reduced to a more realistic $2300 😢

Hey Mike, sorry for my ambiguous grammar; I meant to write that I was interested in trading this (English) concertina for a Crane, of any make! Maybe a long shot, but I thought I would mention it if someone wanted to avoid using money and stick with a barter system.

In view of the cool market for English concertinas right now, I am offering this one for the RED HOT PRICE of $2300! Such quality, for such a reasonable price... also still VERY willing to trade this for a Crane duet! Wheatstone Aeola English, 56+air button, extended treble, no. 36258, which puts its manufacture in the mid-1950’s if I’ve understood the ledgers correctly! Comes with its original case in good condition. Tight bellows, all reeds sound in both directions, only cosmetic issues are some surface checks from being in a dry environment, and some crushing around several screw holes where someone tightened them down too much. Basically immaculate, particularly the insides. A very loud box! Many other pictures/videos/sound files upon request. I’m located in central Virginia (USA). Prefer to ship in the US, but I’m willing to ship internationally if it comes to that. I’m also happy to meet someone working a few hours’ drive. $3000, buyer pays shipping. Also open to trading for Crane duet of similar quality/condition.

What a beautiful, genius rig, Alex! As with all great ideas, one thinks, "how come I didn't think of that?"
