thanks alot! i'll try thear website

I have no idea where cleckheaton is but thanks anyway. does anyone know if the difference in wood on a concertina changes the tone of it because I am looking at the Lachenal rosewood 30-button C/G at the moment. what are your most recommended makes of concertina because I want to know that Im buying a decent one for the amount of money that I am spending. thanks again! mj

About the stagi that you mentioned, if it is the same as my friends, it is massive. I would always suggest looking and playing the concertina before you buy it. any more suggestions would be great! thanks a lot! mj

I've got £500-£1000 to spend and need one (hopefully) by the enad of this month but I doubt that I can get a decent one by then. I'm sorry about my views on musicroom and hobgoblin but whenever I speak to them they seem to have no idea what so ever. thanks for your ideas mj

I have just mastered rolls and cuts and now find them very easy to do practice makes perfect! mj

i know what you mean bob it didnt work for me either

have you tried different websites that have midi files and sheet music that you can print off. they are always helpful! mj

I always use these websites to find nice tunes on http://www.slowplayers.org/Slowplayers_Music_List.html http://tunedb.woodenflute.com/ http://www.concertina.net/ http://www.celticmusic.com/cgi-bin/tunes.pl http://www.rogermillington.com/tunetoc/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/r2music/folk/sessions/ http://pagebiz.com/banjo/irish/ there are more but I cant be bothered to write them down from mj

are there any other concertina retailers you can recommend except for barleycorn as i would like to see what different people have for different prices places that i would normally try for musical instruments such as hobgoblin or the music room dont seem to know anything about concertinas so I am a bit lost in where to go. as I cannot travel very far I wuold like to see what there is in the midland region or East Anglia because traveling to there would be easier. im open to any suggestions so please tell me what you know mj

i have emailed you about your wheatstone. I hope you receive it okay mj

my first concertina was a rental one. this was good as if something goes wrong with it, you can just take it back to the place you got it from and they will replace it for you. I got mine from Ken Stevens. it isnt too great but it is fine for learning on. mj

does anyone have any idea make of concertina I should buy cos I have absolutely no idea what so ever . If you can help me please do! thanks mj

Im in cambridgeshire but my concertina is only a rental so im not going to bother getting it repaired. thanks for the suggestion on where to get a new one, but I've already emailed Chris and am awaiting a reply. thanks again mj

I am looking for a c/g 30 keyed concertina as my one has well, had it. In the price range of about £500-£1000. Hopefully, someone in the UK has one suitable for me but as long as its not too far away, anywhere is fine. please say that you can help me as it is hard to practice with a concertina that has an air leak if you know what I mean. Please reply to this message if you can hel me. thanks a lot, mj
