AlexCJones Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) I bought a few inexpensive concertinas that were not in perfect shape, then took them apart, then took most of the best parts, and assembled them into two playable concertinas. I am keeping one but selling the other, plus the leftover parts. This one I am selling has the brand name "Frontalini". All of the notes play except the highest B on the last button of the right hand G-row. The high F# plays on the pull on that button though. The highest B is hardly ever used , so I figure that whoever owns this next can get that note working. Sometimes the lowest C on the left hand C-row sticks a little. Here are videos of it being played: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=yJ-UkOcfD88 Extra parts include: 2 ends of a Silvertone in different stages of disassembly including 5 loose diatonic reed blocks ( I'll contain those reed blocks in small container) 2 bellows from Silvertone/Frontalini type Some leftover small leather straps, screws, buttons and some beeswax. 1 disemboweled Scholer concertina (optional, can remove to decrease shipping weight, if you do not want it.) If you want to buy just the leftover parts, it's $10 plus shipping. If you want to buy the concertina without the extra parts, it is $80 plus shipping. If you want to buy both the concertina and the leftover parts, it is still just $80 plus shipping. Edited December 10, 2012 by AlexCJones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCJones Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Someone is now buying the leftover spare parts. So, all that is left is the playable concertina. Of these videos of it being played, I think the second one is better since I am doing the chords:: I've decided to lower the price to $75, and even that is negotiable.
