Stuart-Sinclair Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Not much to say, friends, other than I'm looking for a simple concertina and that I live in Boothbay, Maine. It doesn't have to be fancy, just as long as it "sings". I'm hoping to hear. Thank you. Stuart Weeks stuartbweeks@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hielandman Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hello Stuart, Welcome to C-Net! I just received back from North Americas foremost concertina repairman three 20 button Rosewood Ended Lachenal Concertinas, all in C/G that have been totally restored, new valves, pads, hand straps, tightened up, action set, and tuned to concert pitch. I have one with a five fold bellows, one with a six fold bellows, and one with and eight fold bellows. They are all identical to this instrument: https://concertina.co.uk/stock-selection/anglo-concertinas/lachenal-20-key-with-steel-reeds/ Let me know if you are interested. I was going to post them sometime this week, but, here we are! Again, welcome, there are a lot of good people on here, and very much in the way of useful information. Take care, Don Smith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david dufficy Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hi Don, could you let me know what the asking price for the three concertinas you have? Thanks. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hielandman Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hello David, I've just sent a PM. And, should any of these be sold on this site, the usual donation will be made Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TapTheForwardAssist Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 @Stuart-Sinclair, can you help us with a little clarity on what you're looking for? Like which system: Anglo, English, or Duet? If you're not sure, we have articles here you can read about the difference, and there are apps which emulate each on your phone or tablet for free or $1 or so by Michael Eskin if you want to try the different styles. And if you tell us what kind of music you intended to play, we can help advise on type. And lastly, roughly what kind of budget are you aiming for?

John Hewes Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 i have two Wheatstone 46 key English, one metal ends, one Rosewood. Both work well, I bought them in Scotland 50 years ago and played a bit for The Morris, and in a Folk Club, but wasnt very good. All the keys work both ways, the bellows are good, they are in UK. Any interest? Kind regards, Stay safe John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
