Laurence Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Gerry has a Connors G/D 30 button Anglo concertina for sale on Craigslist, and lives in Vermont, USA. He has been trying to sell this gem for some time now. He bought/ordered it new about 12 years ago and it has basically gone unplayed. He's even lowered the price ($2100 now). I just about bought it but backed out at the last minute. This is about 1/2 the price of a new one (I think). It's all black leather (6 bellows) and has metal ends plus a D drone button. Original case included. Someone should snap this one up! He'll ship it to you--within the USA anyway, not sure about Europe and other locations. To email him directly this is his address gefalk@myfairpoint.net or phone 802.827.3868 in the US (he may be retired). I don't think he'll mind me helping him out here. I can't seem to paste the Craigslist address here, but just search Vermont + Concertina and you'll find it. It's the only one listed in the state!

David Levine Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 In the interests of science, this is a D/G. It is a very fair price. http://burlington.craigslist.org/msg/3563608208.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hersh Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Are you saying that the low row is in D and the high one in G, rather than the (much more common) other way around? In the interests of science, this is a D/G. It is a very fair price. http://burlington.craigslist.org/msg/3563608208.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Are you saying that the low row is in D and the high one in G, rather than the (much more common) other way around? In the interests of science, this is a D/G. It is a very fair price. http://burlington.craigslist.org/msg/3563608208.html The owner advertised it as a D/G, but in his email he calls it a G/D...which is what I think it is. In any case, he says the first row is D, the 2nd row G, and the 3rd row is the various sharps and flats. Don't most 3 row Anglo concertinas name the 2nd row first...like C/G? So, in keeping with that, it would be a G/D. BTW, the G row is an octave lower than a regular G row on a C/G concertina. That's one reason I backed out. I need to play in unison with a fiddler in my band, not an octave below in G. The other reason is that most metal ends are a little too harsh for my taste...and this Connor is loud, but sounds great, at least it did over the phone.
