New Wakker WA5 Concertina B/F

[ben]

Here is a link to YouTube videos clip of my new Wim Wakker W-A5 Concertina Bb/F played by Koot Brits of Pretoria, South Africa. The Wakker concertina was completed in August. Koot Brits also builds nice concertinas and was kind enough to play two nice Boer Music tunes on this beautiful instrument:

 

 

First, Verlee Wals (translated....Embarrased or blushing waltz):

Second, Soutpansberg Setees:

I thoroughly enjoy playing my Wakker concertina. Wim did an excellent job in building this concertina. The sound that it makes is excellent. The action is fast. The bellows are very supple and handle the air pressure well. Many of my friends in South Africa have commented that this concertina is visually stunning with its Amboyna veneer and gilded ends. Overall, I can honestly say that I am very happy with Wim Wakker's concertina.

I'll bet you are Ben! It's a beautiful instrument and Koot certainly does it justice!
