howardhill Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) My lovely - in fantastic condition - 45 button Morse Geordie Tenor English Concertina is up for sale. It's a bit like a treble, but has an extra row so it goes to a 5th lower (i.e. the lowest note is a C rather than a G). It is in excellent condition, has fast action and plays beautifully (I don't though). I have a smaller Morse EC, which I am keeping, but I need to sell this one. I am a lifelong string player (mandolin etc) and 1 concertina is enough for me to enjoy. Rosewood stained Cherry ends, black Delrin buttons, brass fittings, riveted action, 6-fold bellows, and high-quality accordion-type reeds. With original hardshell case. Here's a link to the instrument on the Musicroom website... http://www.themusicroom-online.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/5115 All offers will be considered - you may grab a bargain ) If anyone is interested, then please email me howard@thehilltribe.com. I live near Oxford, England. Once sold, then a donation to this website will be made. Thanks Howard (edited to include Musicroom link) Edited November 14, 2015 by howardhill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pierceall Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I wasn't aware the price difference was so vast US vs UK. A new Geordie is currently available at the Button Box for $2950, about £1940. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wild Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Michael's figure of £1940 would become about £2420 after adding on import duty and VAT - John Wild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
