Sammieola Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Hi there. I have a 20 button concertina in original box and wondered if it’s worth selling or whether it’s even desirable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPKarl Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 There are several of us that love the 20. Many beginners like a 20 to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GABRIELOW Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I started on a 20 key little concertina. So they always will surely find someone, somewhere that will want one. Sometimes they can be a good supplementary instrument maybe for a musician that wants to play a different instrument, along with their main one. Often I've found guitar players seem fond of trying concertina too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darabin Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Are you in the UK? I'm currently trying to pick up a used concertina to start off with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBONE Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I can`t help with a 20 button SCHOLER but i have a piano concertina brand new . i have no idea where it comes from or what year it was made ,it still had a little piece of wood on one reed and now plays decently if you have wide hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Wheeler Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) I got the bug for anglo concertina by being given a Scholer anglo by a friend who had seen it in a charity shop. It was in Eb/Bb and the arrangement of the notes was the same as a 20button anglo (rather than the one the OP posted) i.e. enough to intrigue me. I even came up with a couple of new tunes on it. So, yes, they're definitely useful! Edited January 13, 2023 by Kathryn Wheeler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Scholer concertina looks interesting. What range does it cover? It looks like it has a range similar to the Jones ‘Piano’ concertina.

TBONE Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Hi the range is E4 TO G5 treble side with all the sharps flats as per piano F4# to F5#. The bass side E3 TO G4 F3# to F4# As i mentioned its brand new and sounds quiet nice chords are easy to play on the left if a little loud best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglo-Irishman Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Interesting! What's the button between Bb and C# on the right-hand side? An air-button? Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
