JS336 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Sent an email to Frank Edgley hoping to discuss potential options for a custom concertina; haven't heard back in several hours. Don't know if a wait is expected or not; though I would imagine he's quite busy filling orders etc. Just wondering if anyone here knows as I'm quite keen to hear back from him.

Andy Sugden Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I got a reply within a day when I made an enquiry a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS336 Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) No answer so far; it's been a good few hours now. Doesn't look like anything's going to happen at this rate. Edited August 1, 2019 by JS336 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_s Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 My experience is that he’ll get back to you within approximately 24 hours or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few "hours"? If he were constantly checking his email, he wouldn't have time to make any concertinas. If I sent an inquiry to a maker, I'd be pleased if I got a reply within a week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddyLosty Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hmm sounds like you'd be better off getting in touch with Colin Dipper for your custom build! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, would make a good joke. "Have you heard of the guy who contacted Colin 10 years ago and finally got an answer? He was shocked by such a quick response!" ?

Not many people would be able to do that or provide that level of service. I won’t hear a word against him. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Darn, my third post in like five years and I manage to make someone angry, I have not lost the touch! ? I was just kidding, I own a Dipper concertina and they've always been super nice to me. It's just an "inside joke" and was not meant as an insult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils' Dream Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Chill, dudes and/or dudettes! We're just egging on the OP! BTW, JS, did you hear back from Edgley? We know you are wanting a custom job, but welcome to the world of hurry up and wait.... The custom builders call their own tunes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
