Ken_Coles Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Apologies if this is noted here already, but I didn't notice that it was... Was poking around after being away for a week and found on the Button Box menu a new entry I don't recall seeing a couple of weeks ago: the Geordie English concertina. This is a model I've heard for awhile that they were planning - first to use new casework 7 inches across the flats. I don't speak for BB (perhaps they will chime in) but this opens the possibility to create other new models of this size. They list tenor and baritone models, both 45-key with accordion reeds. Read all about it here. Every new model is a great thing, more choices for all of us. Congratulations on the new arrival. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Mansfield Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Wow. I've been lusting after an Albion baritone for a while, but it looks like the Albion has just been supplanted in my affections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saguaro_squeezer Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) Having had an Albion baritone and seeing the prototype of this at Button Box, I need to think up a customer in western MA to pay a visit to. I wonder if the bottom end of the Baritione is lower than G -2? Edited July 26, 2010 by saguaro_squeezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Drinkwater Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Wondering if the new 'Geordie' concertina will have a North East England accent? And only play Northumbrian tunes! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Wondering if the new 'Geordie' concertina will have a North East England accent? And only play Northumbrian tunes! I haven't observed my Albion to be perfidious in the least. But is that because it isn't, or because it's too tricksy to get caught? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
