You were right - 2900 to internet buyer. Makes no sense to me, there are/were two Linotas for sale here - recently serviced and tuned for less. http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=16925&hl=linota http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wheatstone-Linota-C-G-30-Button-Anglo-concertina-/251644252266?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=3QVqVVmqTW56melD2M2CF4aOUjU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

some details on R.Carr here http://www.lvcott.fsnet.co.uk/others.htm#Carr and "...I have handled a number of concertinas labelled R Carr.They are usually very substantial and thus weighty.As well as suggestions that R Carr was a moonlighting Jeffries employee Crabb's may have made concertinas which bear that name...." from http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=2999

Since I bought C/G Jeffries recently (thanks Paul Read), I am selling two instruments I played before to cover the purchase. One is beautiful professional model from Edgley with wooden ends, C/G Wheatstone layout and lovely mellow sound. It was finished last December and is broken in now. It is great responsive instrument and difficult to part with. Selling for 2100 Euro or any reasonable offer. I am from Czech republic so anyone in Europe will avoid VAT and import taxes. Second is beginners instrument from Hohner, 30key C/G with Wheatstone layout. Enough to give you idea what is the anglo concertina about and I prefere it over Rochelle. Going to sell for 250 Euro. Postage is covered by buyer. PM or email me at tomas.pergler (at) gmail.com for more infos.
