Shakespeare 38 key C/G anglo for sale

[Mike C]

I have decided to sell my Shakespeare 38 key C/G anglo. It's been a very good friend over the past few years. However, I took delivery of a Suttner last May, so as much as I would like to keep it, it deserves to be played a lot more than it is these days.

 

Bought from Theo Gibb at The Box Place in Newcastle in 2008. Valves replaced and a full tune in 2009. Strap thumb screw inserts fitted. Had a small service a few weeks ago to get it ready for selling. All this work carried out by repairer Nigel Sture in South Devon.

 

Bellows are in excellent condition, and were obviously fitted not that long before I bought it (Various people 'in the know' suggested they might be David Leese bellows). The concertina has obviously passed through Chris Algar's hands at least once, as there are some of his labels inside.

 

Plays really nicely with a sweet tone and a very light action. I have played a few other Shakespeares since I bought it, and none played as well as this one.

 

Weight is 1444g. Comes with a solid, fully blocked case. See image for keyboard layout.

 

Any trial welcomed - I am in Devon, U.K. Please message me for more photos of both the outside and inside of the concertina.

 

Donation to Concertina.net if sold.

 

Price £3100 plus postage.
