pipives2 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Hi All, Here's another one for sale. This is, as far as I know, a one-off. Called a 'Melodina' by the builder, it's a square 30 button anglo, in the keys of G/D. This was built in France in 2016 as a completely custom order by Stephane Le Lan, see here https://accordeons-du-marais.com/ Lachenal/Wheatstone fingering system, using accordion type reeds tuned to A=440Hz (concert pitch) Ends are solid cherry wood, buttons are delrin (black plastic) with mother of pearl type caps. Melodeon style card + tape bellows, not leather concertina type. Very comfortable padded adjustable handstraps. It's a delight to play, with such long bellows it's a little different in feel to a normal anglo. Not the loudest concertina I've ever played, but a lovely tone. I'm not using it as much as I should as I've two other GD concertinas and this should be getting more attention. Sold with a fitted hard case This was 2,00 euros when it was built Looking for about £900 Postage to UK £12, if posting overseas let me know where you are and I'll get you a quote Any questions please ask 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregor Markič Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) This beauty has found a new home. Additional cost have arousen at the customs (thans brexit!) and some repairs and adjustments had to be made. I would like to thank the seller Philip Ives to have split these unexpected costs with me. I am more than happy with this beauty. The good thing is that in the workshop in which I until now had my instruments repaired- they weren't up to the task and I found another repairer. See his internet page: http://www.kaps-harmonika.com/si/ He's a real master and from now on, I intend to be his customer. Now I am a proud owner of two high end- concertinas, well the first is Irish concertina company concertina and the second is melodina made by Stéphane Le Lan. Let the Christmas begin!
