just4fun Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I am hoping to find a suitable anglo concertina that fills the following criteria; Second hand in decent condition up to £1500. G/D Concert pitch (A=440). Min 6 fold bellows. Min 30 buttons. Something like a Morse, Marcus etc. My situation is that I've been playing the Melodeon for a few years and want to try to add another string to my bow. I play in sessions quite a lot and also accompany a fiddle player fairly often so something that could just about hold it's own in a session but equally is not going to drown out a fiddle would be ideal. I live in South Wales but obviously would be happy to travel a reasonable distance for the right sounding thing. I await the avalanche of offers.......!

Myrtle's cook Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Hi Ollie You might just get a decent antique instrument against your specification for that sort of price - so worth considering any refurbed Lachenal or Jones boxes out there - Chris Algar of Barleycorn concertinas may have something in that bracket. That said I know Theo Gibb (of this forum) has a Tedrow instrument that might meet your spec. I'm an English Concertina player, but have heard one of these played and liked it. It also looked well put together. http://www.theboxplace.co.uk/purchase/concertina/cat_13.html Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just4fun Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Thank you all for your help (some of it by PM). I've just ordered a new Marcus so will start loitering around these forums after I take delivery in the New Year. Ollie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
