Hi, I've been reading a few bits and pieces about Jeffries reeds in particular and it has come up a few times that they were made out of Stainless spring steel rather than carbon spring steel, is this true and is that what gives them that unmistakable sound? thanks Sean
-
here's the reply i got for anyone just incase they were considering looking at these... Dear Sean, I have taken one apart to show the " works ". Wouldn't it be hard to have blocks to allow the reeds to be placed round the " outside " in in a circle. I suspect that you have never had an English concertina apart so cannot understand a different design where there wouldn't be any blocks like you get in all the " budget " Martini, Stentor, Stephanelli, Scaralati, Hohner, Stagi & a few French ones too. Theese sell between £200 & £800 or more. I understand that apart from being Italian made they are accordion type / shape reeds. Very many thanks for taking the bother to write to me. Why not buy one & see if they get your aproval, if they do, & want to buy quantity of them we supply you @ trade prices ( & allow the diff. of the first one as a credit on the new order ) B. r., J. P.

domed or flat
Seán Ó Fearghail replied to Seán Ó Fearghail's topic in Instrument Construction & Repair
very good. When did they start to use the domed? i have one from 1924 with domed... would it have been much earlier than that? -
Hi, i'm making a set of buttons to replace broken bone ones on an anglo concertina and just wondering do people prefer domed buttons like on a wheatstone or flat like jeffries?
