scoopet Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 hi all, I'm after a brass reeded English concertina, condition unimportant for my 7 month to play with/ eat/ become the next regondi........ It can have leaky valves , wheezey bellows and battered woodwork, I'm sure he won't mind but I guess I'd like it in tune with itself? He's been paying particular attention to me playing carols over the last few weeks and my wife has suggested he should have one!!! all the best, simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Wooff Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi Simon, hi Geoff, anything lying around le workshop?!!! Well, errr,..... yes but it is not quite victorian... it does have the creeky bellows and less than perfect exterior woodwork.. it is reasonably in-tune but it has Steel reeds..... it also has the Flat reedpans although with wooden ends and Mahogany pallet boards the sound is nice ... and I have been contemplating a restoration... or more recently.... perhaps a conversion ..... perhaps to a duet ?? How's that Baritone with the metal ends keeping ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopet Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 the reeds are unimportant........I just think brass will be cheaper and his pocket money is limited!!! I've pmed you re the baritone....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
