Jones 26 button Bb/F for sale $1200 or BO--SOLD

[endgrainguy]

I bought this from Greg Jowaisas in 2010.  It has a sweet sound, but for me it's a little too quiet and slow for playing in fast sessions with pipers, which is generally who I play with in C sessions. I love it's sound solo, and I think it would be especially fine as voice accompaniment.  So I'm selling it, and asking the same price I paid 11 years ago.

photos and sound file attached. I'm in western MA.

 

I'm happy to set this up  on right hand accidental row however you'd like at my expense. I'm the woodworker for Morse concertinas and have  easy access to their help (if I need additional reeds)  for things like this.

Below is Greg's  description:

 

 

For sale:

Bb/F 26b Jones with 5 fold bellows and steel reeds. I've reconditioned this concertina with new pads, valves and a bellows rebind. The bellows are airtight and sport new papers. The instrument is in tune A=440 standard pitch.

 

The concertina plays well and has the warm sound associated with Jones broad steel reeds.

 

$1200. USD + shipping and insurance.

 

PM me with questions, for additional pics etc.
