Chris Timson Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 From the appearance I'd guess it is a modern Connor and as such probably a very playable instrument. Correct? It would probably also help people to know what the concertina's home keys are, e.g. C/G, G/D or whatever. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evgeny Pichugin Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) Hi Chris! This is John Connors instrument. C/G tuning. This is very playable instrument, but a little bit hard to play (because Lachenal reeds are hard). But the reeds are metal, instrument is tuned correct. As I knew yesterday Chris Algar is only a seller of this instrument (maybe to Noel Hill) From the appearance I'd guess it is a modern Connor and as such probably a very playable instrument. Correct? It would probably also help people to know what the concertina's home keys are, e.g. C/G, G/D or whatever.

David Levine Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Evgeny and I spoke on Skype yesterday. I told him I would be happy to endorse the sale of his concertina. It is indeed a John Connor concertina and it has Lachenal reeds, or at least old concertina reeds. It is a C/G with a Wheatstone layout. He played it for me yesterday and it sounded good. This is what Algar says about the concertina: Connor takes vintage reeds which we supply and produces a totally new 30 key Anglo concertina which we sell - with case - for £2500. Noel originally bought the instrument for his son when the son was starting out, but as he progressed he replaced it with a more expensive instrument. Evgeny would like to get his initial investment back - this was €1,500, which is a very reasonable price for a Connor concertina with real concertina reeds. Noel said that Chris Algar originally sold it to him for €1,800, which I suspect was a special price for Noel Hill. At €1,500 this is certainly a great value. The conversion rate for a new one would be €3,000. Used Connor concertinas have been selling here for over €2,500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
