cvstuart Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'm now the proud owner of a fabulous 38b Jeffries, and just wanted to say that my experience buying it through Greg Jowaisas was outstanding. It was a significant purchase and Greg spent a lot of time answering my questions, following up phone calls, checking and tuning the instrument, and just generally being patient with someone new to the Jeffries and high-level concertina world. I recommend Greg highly. And here are some photos of the instrument. Has a nice sweet, but loud tone. As my mother would have said, "Great honk!" I feel like I'm at the beginning of a long journey to see what this instrument can do. Some interesting facts: it's an original C/G Jeffries sr instrument, has Dipper bellows, and is tuned in 1/5 comma meantone tuning (the chords ring). Thanks, Greg! -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Besser Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Beautiful instrument. And you can't go wrong with Greg. Last September he was selling a 30 button Jeffries C/G I would have killed for. And my wife would have killed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Jowaisas Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 30b still available, Jim. Perhaps your wife would only punish you a few years instead of contemplate murder. worth the purgatory? Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg You may get time off your sentence for good behaviour and good concertina playing! lol! I have sent many of my concertinas to Greg and they all came back in excellent playing condition.

stetix Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Man, what a gem! And the Jeffries is awesome too! Greg was kind enough to guide me on a restoration project. Thank you Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I've got a G/D much like that, 38 buttons with Dipper bellows. A magic combination in my opinion, you can't go wrong with it. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
