For Sale: Square Herrington 30-button C/G [SOLD]

[Steve Schulteis]

I'm asking $1600 with free shipping to the continental US.

 

This unusual Anglo was dubbed "The Herrington Hercules" by a previous owner.  You can see its history and complete chain of prior owners in these threads (I bought it from JD Leedham):

I've replaced the right hand C#/C# with a C#/D#, so it now has a completely standard Wheatstone layout. I'll include the original reed and even swap it out before sending the instrument if you'd prefer.

 

This is a wonderful and unique concertina. I'm a bit sad to let it go, but I'm trying to fund a home-built Hayden duet, and my Anglo playing has mostly shifted over to my G/D Edgley.

A quick update. 

The 30-button square c/g Herrington "Hercules" has got a new owner (in Japan).

I sold it at the price I bought it, FYI.

 

It has been a joy to play this instrument.

The square Herrington entertained me for about 4 1/2 years.

I am the original owner, and it was indeed a great instrument.  Had a lot of fun going back and forth with the late Mr. Herrington during its construction, circa 1996.
