My newest purchase

[Gregor Markič]

Monday this week it arrived, Clare concertina from the Irish concertina company. I can't express my happyness, although the second day I noticed with astonishment it had different button layout than what I was used to. I even wrote a complaint e-mail (stupid me😆), but I was kindly told that such was the standard layout for a mid range concertina and a professional. Now I'm learning to play on it. In only few days I see I can gain a lot by playing a high quality concertina instead of what I have been playing from my beginnings in january 2020- from the cheapest china-made groanboxes and later McNeela Wren and Swan beginner's concertinas (which I still dearly love).

Do I qualify as a concertina lover if there's more money in this picture than in my car? I had my old Wren and Swan tuned this week and it's a priceless feeling. To my much astonishment one of the reed in Swan totaly broke off 😬
