A Recent E-mail

[Frank Edgley]

I just received this e-mail from a Concertina.net member:

 

"Frank,

Recently, we visited the excellent Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, AZ. As you probably know, it is organized by geographical region. When we got to the Canada exhibit there, front and center, was a pristine Anglo concertina with a sign that identified it as made by Frank Edgley. In Canada, of course.

 

The museum is a class act and while it is a shame that the concertina isn't being played it is also an honor to have your work recognized and appreciated.

Congratulations!

All best to all,

David

Tucson, AZ"

 

I was wondering what had happened to that one.

[Ransom]

Yeah, I saw that too. And there's a Lachenal anglo over in the Ireland section. I was a little bit peeved that the English concertina in the England exhibit was obviously bought on eBay for twenty dollars from a deep-sea fisherman who dredged it up from the depths. It was so decrepit that the metal fingerplate was fanned into layers.

 

Bleh.

Oddly, it is labelled in large letters as "Wheatstone" for the name of the instrument with concertina added in small letters below.

England has been a strong sea-nation you know. That makes sense.

You don't suppose it's this one do you?
