Wolf Molkentin Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Possibly a bargain for those who can buy it without custom expenses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquarussell Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) It arrived today. It's beautiful, light, and it plays. The top button, is it supposed to be an air valve? Thank you for posting about this concertina on eBay, I wouldn't have known about it if you hadn't.

Wolf Molkentin Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Glad that you could buy it, and are happy with it! The top button may in fact have at least one reed removed in order to create kind of an air valve... With an Extended Treble, you may readily do without that highest "bat" tone... I wish you all the best - enjoy your Excelsior like I do mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary B Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Russell, congratulations on your purchase of a vintage concertina! I look forward to hearing you play it soon. We will have to compare the different Lachenal sounds next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquarussell Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Oddly, there were two low-ball bids on it when I bought it. The buy it now price was too high? I don't think it was, but the low bids were probably just wishful thinking. On eBay I often bid my true maximum, and get beat out by someone who jsut wants the item more than I do.

Greg Jowaisas Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=14993 (scroll down about 3 or 4 posts) It is not such a bad idea to check in with me from time to time when you are looking for a concertina.

Enjoy your Excelsior! I'm missing something... Greg, were you the seller? Or did you re-sell it to someone who re-sold it? Or is this a different concertina, where someone borrowed your descriptive language? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
