Sidsqueezer Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I am based in Devon, England and I wish to purchase a Rochelle Anglo C/G which must be in good as new condition. Currently no dealer in UK has any stock of this model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyhawk Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I have a Rochelle I am considering selling but I haven't quite made up my mind yet. I got hold of a Lachenal recently and I can't bear to play the Rochelle anymore. The thing is it's only a 20 button Lachenal and I fear the day after I sell the Rochelle I will want to play a tune with c sharps in it. Anyway, I am not sure you would describe my Rochelle as 'as new' but it is in good condition. It does have one small fault in that the push e on the left-hand c row causes the push a on the accidental row to sound with it. I would have fixed it but I learned to work around it by half pressing the e button. It's probably an easy fix. By the way, I live in Barnstaple.

Mike Jones Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hi Tom, You could have refurbed the 24 button you have just sold me and used the C* s on that. I'm planning to juggle the reeds, etc. once I have it working to try and come up with a C*/C or B/C just to see how it goes. The intention is to use the additional buttons to keep some of the reversals and maybe add a drone. I already have another 24 button (Brass reeds) that I got working again and think it probably feasible. Mike I fear the day after I sell the Rochelle I will want to play a tune with c sharps in it.

tommyhawk Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Hi mike, Hopefully your concertina has arrived by now. I did think about it but my concertina tinkering experience is minimal and I deemed it beyond me to fix it up.

Sidsqueezer Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 thanks for all replies. The Music Room are currently without stock and Rochelles are on back order. However, I have located one at Celtic Cords in Aberdeenshire and placed an order ( soon might have to pay import duty from Scotland). A fault on their website was saying none in stock, but an email enquiry revealed otherwise. Other option was to import one direct from Makers in USA at quite reasonable cost. I know Rochelle is a basic box, but we all have to start somewhere. I used to play a Pokerwork Melodeon but now could not do without my Salterelle Connemara. From my side, this thread is now closed as item no longer required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidesqueeze Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I have one. Sorry to have missed your request. Clever name you've chosen but it misses the sexual double entendre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidsqueezer Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Must be something lost in transatlantic translation or I am very naive, but I fail to see double entendre in my username. Probably best not to explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
