Hi All I posted earlier under Canadian Newbie looking for advice as a total beginner.I have been approached since that post with a couple of offers [thanks again] Here is my question, given that I am interested in Celtic music I had thought that a D/G Anglo was the way to go, but i wonder if as a total beginner there might be more teaching material designed for C/G models. It looks like I could purchase a Rochelle in the $300 range or I have located a Stagi D/G available for $500 Any advice, such as easier to learn on or best bang for your buck etc would be appreciated

You guys are great, so many replies and tons of advice and opinions. Thank you very much for your input. I have not arrived at a final decision but I will definitely be more comfortable making the commitment when the time comes. I will be back to let you know whether it was a boy or a girl when the big day arrives

Hi everyone I am interested in purchasing a concertina. My musical preference is Celtic I live in Alberta, Canada. I worry about spending too much on an instrument that may end up collecting dust. I am not likely to be performing concerts so don't think I really need a spiffy concertina. From what I have browsed so far, I should be looking at 30 button Anglo G/D which are not as common.Yes/No? There are a couple of companies in the US who sell concertinas under $200 which I am sure are made in China but does that mean they are junk? [sorry couldn't resist the pun] Can anyone give me some ideas before my head explodes/ Thanks to all in advance
