drbones Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 This is on Ebay. Genuine antique? Patently Victorian? Copy of a Lachenal? Proper concertina made in the traditional way? Proper concertina reeds? Correct concert pitch? Obviously lower end model? New pads, valves and straps? Obviously a lower end model? Not a bad looking box. The hand rests look longer than a Lachenal's. Seller knows all this and doesn't know what make it is. Do You?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbones Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Sorry I missed that thread. I've never heard of either of those brands. Are they worth pursuing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hersh Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Sorry I missed that thread.I've never heard of either of those brands. Are they worth pursuing? They're rare and I've never had either in hand, but from what I've heard here I'd say that a Tidder (they're never labeled, so we're not even sure that Tidder was the maker) is as good as a decent mahogany-ended Lachenal or lower-end Jones, but a Schuster is of interest mainly as a historical curiosity as a vintage English-style-construction concertina made outside of England.

Theo Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Sorry I missed that thread. I've never heard of either of those brands. Are they worth pursuing? I have hand a Schuster EC in my hand. It was clearly a copy of an English built concertina, but it could best be described as a "concertina shaped object" It played like a very low grade tutor model.
