It would have been nice to compare the Heritage and New Model. (I don't know if the Heritage model exists in Japan. ) I didn't record it, but there was one Olckers Concertina with concertina reeds, and its tone was different again from the New Model.

I had a chance to try my friend's New Model. New Model had a mellower tone but was super responsive. This clip is the comparison using the same recorder settings. The first is the wooden ended New Model(2025) and the second is the metal ended Professional(Hybrid, 2005). There was a clear tone difference between the two, but it wasn't apparent from the recording.

I checked my tapes for dates: Volume 1 (1992) Volume 2 (1993) Volume 3 (1994) Volume 4 (1996) I purchased them in 1999 if my memory serves. I also have a vague memory that I had a Volume 5 in CD format. (I am still looking for.) That Volume 5 includes Caledonian set with some Co. Kerry sets.

I completely agree with that opinion. My mistake. However I think the CD included with Sundays at Lena's is suit for the list. And it reminds me of the book with CD of William Mullaly.

Junior Crehan - The Last House in Ballymakea (2006) Junior Crehan played concertina only in one track. Junior's mother also played concertina in another track. Tony Crehan on concertina in several tracks.

I have those: Paddy & Bridget - & Their Great Friends (2000) Paddy & Bridget - & Their Great Friends 2 (2001) and 2 more under the Isao and Masako Moriyasu name: The Lighthouse in the Bog (2018) Happy to Meet, Sorry to Part (2019)

And I am glad to find the name of Ormonde Waters. I do not have this album, but he gave me a concertina workshop at Australasian Fleadh 2003 in Fremantle.

Thank you for the list. I would add some from my collection: Broderick, Róisín and Noel Battle - Up and About in the Morning (2013) Casey, John Joe - the tiermaclane fancy (2006) Coen, Charles - Around the Turf Fire at Coen's (?)

Droney, Christopher - Irish Dance Music (1961)

Thank you for the info. The description exactly matches the photos here. And it had parallel reed pans(not radial, was it unique for 32 button instrument?). Numbers on the both reed pans were 16202 (final numbers were missing) and there was another photo shown here. But this might be an error. These photos were from ebay ended on May 22, 2018 and I haven't seen them since.

I had some photos on ebay from 2018 that indicates 162021 as 32 button metal ended instrument (I didn't bid on it though). So I suppose yours is 62021.

It is early Jones, 26 plus 2 novelty buttons, in C/G. More photos here: https://concertina.org/concertinas/jones-1312/

Thank you for posting. That reminds me of this photo from last year, showing a smaller tree.

Just came across this: https://www.buttonbox.shop/ What is this? It appears to have been created by recycling material from an old website, but is this genuine?

I came across these recently. Some episodes feature concertina players. https://www.clare.fm/?s=traditional+greats

Thank you Michael !
