My First Concertina

[JimLucas]

I guess Im left to consider either renting or buying the Hohner D-40.  Does anyone see buying this Hohner to learn on as a bad thing?  I do plan to upgrade eventually, but is this s good instrument to learn on?

I don't know it, but I think others will say that it is.

But an important point is that if you do buy it, you should get it from an established dealer, and not from the eBay discounters. Quality control can be a problem, and a place like The Button Box will adjust it to make sure that it's in tune and in good working condition, while eBay discounters apparently don't even look and sometimes don't even appear to know the difference between an anglo and an English.

And some ebay dealers don't know the difference between a concertina and an accordion

I wonder if the Concertina Connection would consider offering an Anglo-German model with that kind of guarantee?
