Mikefule Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I've just looked up what I posted a few months ago immediately after playing a Morse and an Edgeley on the same day. Both nice boxes, nothing wrong with either but my personal preference was for the Morse. I make it a rule to take every opportunity to try different makes and models of Anglo so that I can develop a feel for when making comparisons. Either a Morse or an Edgeley would be a nice box, one you could be proud of and which you would enjoy playing. If you can't get to play both, compare prices, availability, delivery times and any options in terms of finish, design etc. and decide what is important to you. You won't go wrong with either.

Christine If you can, try both - as Mike said, that's the best way to choose. One observation: I've owned both Morse and Edgley boxes. Both are great instruments, but the Morse is significantly lighter, if that's a factor for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikefule Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 With a Morse, it is not only easier to play from the dots - but also from the dashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken_Coles Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 And apologies to Christine. In case it is hard for you to read, we think we are being funny with English words. I hope we do not frighten you away from concertina! Bon chance, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify: what he was spelling in Morse code was "LOL." Says this one time amateur radio operator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
