Thanks, for both suggestions. I have asked the appropriate authorities and have had varied replies, at the time of departure it's generally mayhem. I have taken plastic instruments with no problems(melody horn)I will not be back there for several months now so I am sure I can sort something out. The midi idea I have also explored and contacted Dean but they only make it in an English style,I have been looking for an Anglo. also it's quite expensive for a beginners instrument. I think at this point that a plastic Anglo with 20 buttons maybe my best bet. Cheers Andrew.

Thanks for your reply. The Island is off the West Australian coast and called Barrow it's part of the oil and gas project called Gorgon. They have 18 animals found no where else on the planet and numerous plants. They also have state of the art monitoring at the airport, scanners that pick up any organic matter. I work there on, a fly in fly out, basis and cannot leave anything there, so fumigation will not work either. I know it sounds like I am worrying too much but you literally have to shake the lint out of your pockets before boarding the plane.

Do you know what make the plastic one was with brass reeds ? I would like to find a 30button Anglo if possible. Cheers

Thanks for ALL the reply's

I need to find, if possible, an Anglo 30 button concertina that has no organic components but hopefully sounds OK, has anyone any ideas ?
