Marcus Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 It occurs to me that rather than acquiring a C/G with more buttons I would have been better off picking up a G/D with the same amount! This is a wonderful instrument with real concertina reeds - steel in brass shoes. Eight fold bellows - metal ends. Hook and spring action that is responsive and quiet. If interested please PM me - I will not be listing this concertina anywhere else. I would keep this concertina, my Cover and my Stagi if I could justify the purchase of another concertina in G/D!

MatthewVanitas Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Out of curiosity, are you fixing to actually pick up a G/D, or just reflecting that it would've been the best call? Are you reckoning to get a Morse Ceili in G/D, or which? I've had some interest off and on in getting a G/D as it might be more intuitive to me (as a 1-row D melodeon player) than the whole all-over-the-rows modern C/G style of play. I'm sure Wim has some reason for not yet offering a G/D "Rocky" counterpart to his C/G "Rochelle" model (like how for ECs there's the Jackie and Jack), but it is too bad for the G/D platform that the only <$1000 option is the Stagi.

Marcus Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 I think If I was offered the right amount for the Willie van Wyk I would then order a Ceili in G/D -possibly with an additional drone button on the left thumb and an extra bellows fold to give a little more air for those deeper notes. Maybe I'll strike it rich and be able to have both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqzbxr Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Better check with the Button Box, neither a drone nor 7-fold bellows are listed as options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Ah - but I know they've done it before!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
