Concertina making courses/workshops?

[Mandolin]

A few years ago I made an excellent melodeon on a 10 day course run by Emmanuel Pariselle, is there anyone offering the same sort of thing for an English Concertina?

Never heard of similar courses for concertina.

 

However, I did myself also make a 1 row melodeon on a course with Emmanuel Pariselle.

Never heard of that too. But Concertina Connection once sold an 30 button anglo concertina (not English though) as a DIY kit. (no more available)

A large percentage of accordion parts can be bought;  reeds, bellows, action etc, leaving some cabinet making to be done and then the  assembly. The equivalent  parts  all need to be made for a concertina. Consequently a concertina course would need to be much longer.
