magpie Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 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?

rudeboy Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I noticed that Theo Gibb has a Stagi Gremlin for 275 pounds, not a great make but a reputable repairer/dealer: https://theboxplace.co.uk/product/staggi-cg/ And Barkleycorn Concertinas has a 30 button Lachenal for 675: http://www.concertina.co.uk/stock-selection/?concertina=3136 also a few 20 and 26 button for under 1000 pounds Good Luck!

Theo Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Thanks for the mention Rudeboy. I also have a 26 key Lachenal nearing completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudeboy Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 "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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
