This is a 30 key English system concertina, designed and developed with mostly European parts. The Jack is a baritone concertina with the same fingering as the Jackie but sounds one octave lower. These English concertinas have a traditional riveted action, normally only found in expensive hand made instruments. The action is designed very well and makes the instrument 'feel' much like a high priced vintage instrument. The concertina is a wonderful versatile instrument, that is relatively easy to learn and suitable for all kinds of music, ranging from folk tunes, to pop music, jazz and classical music. Because of its small size it is very portable, and it blends perfectly with other instruments. The relatively high price of vintage concertinas and ‘mid priced’ new models, has kept many prospective players from trying the concertina. The Jack has been developed to cater to this group of potential players. They are the perfect instrument for anyone interested in trying out the concertina without having to invest a large amount of money to purchase that first instrument. Made by Concertina Lovers for concertina lovers!
