Takayuki YAGI Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Barleycorn now lists one for sale. https://concertina.co.uk/stock-selection/anglo-concertinas/kensington-30-key-anglo-in-c-g/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papawemba Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 Thank you ! Unfortunately Barleycorn is not an option...since Brexit, I will pay around 600 euros of Vat and taxes 😕 but it gives me an idea of price... if sold from person to person (even outside eu), an arrangement can be done, but not if sold by a shop ( I asked Chris if a solution could be found). Anyway thank you pointing it out 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James McBee Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Have you tried contacting Dana? Even if you are looking to buy used, he might have an idea of someone who is looking to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papawemba Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Nice idea James ! I did a quick math...Kensington is sold second hand for about 3000$, VAT will also apply (but can eventually declare a lower price...) but all together it will be about the same price that ordering from UK. For about the same final price, I favor a concertina coming from Barleycorn :-) So I have decide to buy the one from Barleycorn ! It is a huge financial stretch but I am pretty sure I will be happy for a loooong time !! I actually have a Morse (awesome concertina) but the accordion reed doesn't strike me as much as concertina reeds. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuporman Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 If you haven't found a concertina, I have a Kensington available that's never been played and can offer it at a substantial discount over new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Stuporman, I sent you a PM - I'd be interested. Â Â Edited August 14, 2021 by fullthrottlenow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papawemba Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Hello Stuporman, sorry for my late answer and thank you for your proposition ! I did already ordered the Kensington so it was a little too late or I was impatient 🙂 It is a great concertina, lovely sound !! A little on the heavy side, but compared to the Morse so not a fair comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
