Orm Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hi, After long pause in my concertina playing (COVID, and I also played much more mandolin and banjo), I'm thinking about getting back to it. I have a very nice metal-ended Lachenal concertina, but it requires some work on it - I'd like it to be checked both for functional and aesthetic purposes (clean / polish the ends, buttons, probably new bellows / bellow papers etc). Could you suggest some good person to do this in the Netherlands area? I remember I was advised to contact Jurgen Suttner, and it's a possibility - not sure how easy is to get his time though. But maybe there are others? Or should I just send it to UK / Ireland? I had quite a bad experience finding a luthier for my vintage Gibson mandolin here in NL and I'd prefer to ship instrument somewhere but be sure that person is knowledgable.

Leonard Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Harry Geuns does bandoneons and concertinas. He lives in Molenbeersel, just over the Belgian border, south of Weert. www.bandoneon-maker.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryintolearn Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Try Jaye at Musicedam - obviously in Edam, she plays a Wheatstone and repairs and tunes concertinas and other free reed instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
