I saw these mentioned elsewhere.

Any one seen one in the wild?

Very impressive. They look good. My one concern is the use of Makore as a timber as it is very prone to cause breathing and allergy problems. However ten out of ten and you can go in the "Sweetie Box" Good Luck with this venture.

Having had another look at the construction of these I was to start with a little puzzled by the serpentine reed pan. Then the penny dropped, it was to accommodate the fixings in the sides with what appear to be threaded inserts. Like it. This will solve a long term problem

I own a 7 Mounts Concertina. I met the maker, Ralph Schlimm at a concertina workshop with Cormac Begley in Feakle in August. I was fortunate enough to buy one of Ralph's concertinas and love playing it.

 

A few other people have tried it and are impressed with the sound and how easily it plays.

I suppose too early in the game to start bugging them to make Haydens?

 

 

I do love their modernistic metal end fretwork!
