Brian Peters Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Can I add my own congratulations, as a player of what I believe is a Harry Crabb instrument, and one which I'm very fond of. When I played one of Geoff's instruments I enjoyed that a lot, too. Keep it up! Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Groff Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Geoff, My congratulations also! My Ball Beavon (stamped J. Crabb Maker) is around 128 now, I think you said, and still one of the favorite concertinas I have ever played. Like many here I remember your helpful advice over the years and wish you continued success. Paul Groff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
