Contacting Frank Edgley

[JS336]

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.

I got a reply within a day when I made an enquiry a couple of years ago.

[JS336]

No answer so far; it's been a good few hours now. Doesn't look like anything's going to happen at this rate.

My experience is that he’ll get back to you within approximately 24 hours or so.

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.

Hmm sounds like you'd be better off getting in touch with Colin Dipper for your custom build!

Depends on how many of them turn.

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!" ?

I contacted Colin a long time ago (20 years or so) about a replacement for a bass concertina reed which had broken.

 

I had a replacement within a week.

 

Not many people would be able to do that or provide that level of service.

 

I won’t hear a word against him.

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. 

 

[Lofty]

No, not angry. Just aiming for a balanced view??

[Devils' Dream]

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...
