Helen, What kind of money and wait are there for Frank Edgley concertinas?

thanks helen, yeh the portability is a big thing for me as I work abroad alot and the pa is just too big to be hauling around!

That would be Euro - but of course I would like to spend as little as possible and get as best as possible!!!

well i would be wanting the concertina for playing traditional irish music and was wondering what the most popular one for this type of music is - i have been looking round on the web and aparently its the anglo...is this true? It seems that the 30 button is the way to go? I have heard a few people playing them in sessions but have also heard niall vallely, sharon shannon, noel hill, chris dooney etc. Jim - in answer to your question about accordians - yes, i do like the sound of them! And no i dont think that concertinas and accordians be they button key or piano sound alike, i think that they each have their own very distinctive sound. I play the piano accordian but have been itching to learn a new instrument for ages!! Thanks for the link Chris - its very helpful! My main issue is what decent kind of concertina can i get for under 1000 as i can't really afford much more at the moment. I just need to get something decent that i can learn on and that sounds good! Thanks ;o)

hey all, ok well i want to get myself a concertina but dont know anything at all about them - all i know is that i really love the sound they make and would like to learn how to play one. what im looking for is some advice on what to buy....i dont have thousands to be spending but even so that i know what makes etc. are good so i can look out for a decent second hand one! any advice or help would be brilliant, thanks, Kj
