Chatty concertinist (4/6)

  1. Do these help? Wheatstone 1910 label 100% brown white.pdf
  2. Neil Wayne has an 81 and an 84 in the Concertina Museum

  4. The concertina is a Wheatstone McCann duet, and Jon Boden playing it at the Royal Hotel. Dungworth. It was covered before in this thread:
  5. It is now liable for import duty from the UK to Europe.....
  6. I sourced a black woven felt called Melton ME313 from Hainsworth some years back, not sure it's still available. It's 1mm thick and coloured all the way through but works well as long as you are prepared to ream out the holes if required. It isn't as easy to work with as the scarlet felt, much more difficult to see what you are doing, for one thing.... https://www.hainsworth.co.uk/collections/melton/
  7. I managed to find a complete set of European made harmonium reeds, and for the projected bass Anglo the reed weight alone could be around 2kg.... I can reduce this by using conventional inset type reeds on the right end, but weight will still be an issue and single action for an Anglo isn't an option!
  8. Hi Joe These are still available from me, I have sent you a PM
  9. Geoff Crabb mentioned Bostock as one of their customers in a post around 12 years ago. Can't really see if the action pan and fretwork are two separate pieces, a la Jones, or single as Crabb. The end bolts don't look like Jones. Edit - the action and fret must be two pieces otherwise it might be a little difficult to access the action!
