Ciara Kinsella Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) I currently play a 30 key C/G Lachenal concertina and feel that it’s time to upgrade. Would anyone know of someone selling a decent concertina? Would prefer a Suttner or Carroll concertina, a 38 key if possible. Any help much appreciated.

Jewish Leprechaun Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Might be hard pressed to find a 38button Suttner or Carroll on the market. You can try contacting Chris over at barleycorn concertinas to see what vintage stock he has http://www.concertina.co.uk I believe he usually has more than what's listed on his website. I own a Suttner myself and I've had the opportunity to play a couple Carrolls, absolutely wonderful instruments. Might be worthwhile getting on one (or both!) of their wait lists. Both are around a 2.5year wait (according to their websites which isn't really too bad). You might save some money this way too. A few years ago I waited almost 5 years for my Suttner to be built and I can say it was definitely worth the long agonizing wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewish Leprechaun Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hi Wolf, It's seems a bit quick to me too, but that's what Suttner's website currently says "Current delivery estimate 2.5 years." Perhaps it's been a while since he's updated it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifax Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 As of last March, Wally Carroll's wait time was a mere 1.5 years. That's only 18 months, it'll go by in a blink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
