I switched to a two wheeled recumbent a couple of years ago (age 74) due to neck problems.....too many years on drop bars, and bad posture involving bifocals and computer screens. The recumbent totally eliminated all those issues while riding. Now I sit relatively upright, look around easily, and still keep up with my riding buddies. I'm riding a Lightning P-38, but there are many good choices. Two wheeled recumbents are a bargain now. Most folks are going from their diamond frame bicycles to trikes. I'll probably do that someday but for now the P38 is a blast.

Is this single note melody or are chords annotated as well?

My Edgley Heritage Anglo weighs 1.48 Kg, which seems to be pretty heavy for an Anglo. It has a seven-fold bellows, ebony ends, and metal fretwork. My first traditional concertina after moving up from a Clover. Plays beautifully. Parker

I've used Transcibe! for several years, based on a recommendation from a former instructor. It cost $35 or so when I signed up, worth every penny. I've used Audacity for recording and editing, something it does really well. However, I find the Transcribe! user interface to be much less cumbersome for looping sections of tunes and changing speed while maintaining pitch. Of course we all get used to the tools at hand. For the one time cost, I've installed it on three or four different PC-based platforms. It's also available for Apple.

Concertina sold and shipped today; donation made to the site. Thank you for this great service! Parker

Thank you! I've enjoyed every minute with it and could continue a long time. The Edgley popped up not too far away, so I took the leap.

I recently purchased an Edgley Heritage, so it's time to let the Clover go. I bought it new in May 2022 after starting with their Rochelle 2. It's served me really well since then. It's in perfect condition with just a little finish wear on the bottom of the bellows from resting on my left knee while playing. Details: Custom model (select tone woods, French polish finish, Wakker bellows) Wheatstone layout Italian made accordion reeds traditional riveted sheet brass action traditional metal capped buttons bushed key holes and action 6-fold "Wakker" bellows English walnut ends Engelmann spruce soundboards European quarter cut Maple reed pans French polished ends Price $2500 plus shipping in original box. (new price currently $3250 with lead time 6-7 weeks)

I just checked it out, and it looks like a great time! Sadly it's a bit too far for me, but I'm happy to know about it nevertheless.

I guess Frank hasn't had time to comment on selling the concertina, but I'm proud to say I'm the new owner. I feel really fortunate to be the next owner to care for it. I hope I do it justice.

Hi Ken, That would be very helpful. My instructor, and his instructor, have both participated in Noel HIll's workshops in the Cincinnati area. Noel transitioned to an online workshop during the pandemic, and last year, at least, he was continuing that way. I'm hoping he'll return for an in-person workshop eventually. Thank you, Parker

I'm looking for the concertina equivalent of the Midwest Banjo Camp. Are there any workshops or multi-day events anticipated for 2024 that might be within a day's drive of central Ohio? The Northeast Squeeze-In is a bit far for me. My particular interest is Irish traditional music on the Anglo.

Hi Geoff. I'm on the list for a Kensington, hoping for one by spring.

Why are you showing only the end frame?

Just found it. Sorry, and thank you! I guess I was assuming some kind of notification from the site or maybe auto-forwarding to my email address. I'm not all that up-to-speed on how the site works.

Two messages sent. Is this still for sale?
