Jeff Stallard Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I just listed my Elise Hayden Duet on Ebay, then it dawned on me that I should have gone here first, seeing as this site was so helpful when I was first learning to play. If someone from here ends up getting it, let me know and I'll donate to the site. All the information is at this link: Auction Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragus Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 What is your "Buy it now" price? [i missed the last Elise here in the forums over a weekend, so thought I'd ask...] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Stallard Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 It was $300 (w/ free shipping), but someone already put in a bid, so the Buy it Now option is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerardo1000 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) In your E Bay auction you say that you tried to adjust to the Hayden System but finally you went back to the English concertina. Do you mind to elaborate a bit ? I have an English concertina for rent and would be interested in trying a Duet, but I read so different and controversial opinions about this kind of concertina that I am totally confused. (By the way,up to today, Wed April 20 at 10:12 pm Eastern Time, I am the high bidder..) Thanks ! :-) Edited April 21, 2011 by gerardo1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragus Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 It appears gerardo and I may be in friendly competition. With luck, there will be a donation to concertina.net in the near future in either case. I don't play myself, but I've been on the look out for a starter 'tina for my 16-yo daughter who has expressed interest in learning for a while. However, I'm not well-healed enough to invest in an instrument that may end up being a short-term interest (since she *already* plays the viola, ukulele, electric bass, accordion (sorta), and who knows what's next). Of course, she says she wants a banjo if a reasonable 'tina can't be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Stallard Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 I'm only 5'7", plus I have short little 'punkin fingers, and because of that the stretch getting to the upper rows was not comfortable. I probably could have gotten used to it, but I just decided to go back to the English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
