Looking for Student C/G Anglo

[magpie]

Hi all,

 

I have a student who has just begun on the concertina (anglo c/g) - she's been playing a Wren she bought from McNeela Music up until now, but she's had to send it back twice after reed failures, or, bizarrely, certain reeds not being in there at all! I thought it might be best for her to return the Wren for good and get something slightly better - maybe a lower end Lachenal or something. Her budget is probably around £1000. Anything out there?

I noticed that Theo Gibb has a Stagi Gremlin for 275 pounds, not a great make but a reputable repairer/dealer:

And Barkleycorn Concertinas has a 30 button Lachenal for 675:

 also a few 20 and 26 button for under 1000 pounds 

 

Good Luck!

Thanks for the mention Rudeboy.  I also have a 26 key Lachenal nearing completion.

"Thanks for the mention Rudeboy."

 

No problem, but I should probably mention that I have no commercial connection with either The Box Place or Barleycorn Concertinas.
