I am thinking of buying my first Hybrid Concertina and I wonder about longevity of these instruments. Not that I am contemplating the lower end of that market, I ask about people's expériences with the better/best examples. As a person who has only ever owned 'real' ones and found them to be very reliable, ( my current instruments are between 86 and 115 years old) and the youngest of these has been played almost everyday for the last 40 years to my knowledge, I would be pleased with any insights from owners and makers as to reliability of these new fangled devices. I suppose I am tarnished with the old accordion "sure tis worn out, time to buy a new one" syndrome, and the small advertisements I see for accordions second hand " has been tuned recently". However, one Lady we play with, in a band, has her Castagnari accordion for 14 years and plays it a lot and it sounds wonderfull. How might my new Hybrid sound after ten years of Band playing ?
