Hi, my daughter currently plays a 30 button C/G Lachenal (metal ends). It has one of the best tones we've heard...but she has outgrown the action. So, we're looking for a faster concertina for her. My wife and I are both school teachers, so we'd love to find a deal, but we do understand that this is an expensive instrument. Here's the non-negotiables on it: Anglo 30 button (minimum, but not much more) Concertina reeds riveted action modern maker (Suttner, 7mount, Kensington, Dipper, Carroll, Edgely Heritage, etc...probably not Irish Concertina Company unless there's a great deal) Jefferies layout (modified Jefferies, like the Kensington layout, are fine...want that C# on the push and pull) Here's the preferences: metal ends metal buttons US East Coast (there are a couple brands that we might by sight unseen, but obviously it would be better if she could try either by travelling or the ability to return) Thanks for looking. Even if you don't have one for sale, but know of someone who might, please either let me know or let them know. My daughter has really transitioned into a concertina player, not just a kid who plays concertina. After a couple years of really hard work, she's qualified for the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann (U15).
