David Levine Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 A friend of mine has been making lovely looking and sounding concertinas for some time now. Here are some pictures of one that he most recently finished, with Amboyna ends and frames. They play beautifully and look beautiful as well. Can you guess who the maker is?
ben Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Hello David...it is a beautiful concertina. Let me guess...Colin Dipper? Wim Wakker or Geuns???? Wally Carroll???

Greg Jowaisas Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 I have never had the pleasure of playing or seeing a Chris Ghent concertina in person but from our correspondence I know he is a very thoughtful and conscientious craftsman. Gorgeous!! http://concertina.com.au/ Greg

Ken_Coles Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 And I tried two of Chris's instruments when I visited Oz back in 2006; they were already great then. Ken
