Jacques Thijs Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 When I found a nice video on youtube about the assembly of a Clover concertina kit I immediately contacted the concertina connection to ask if these kits where still available : not since 2014… in spite of there reply I will still start making my own anglo in a few months. I am 78 years young and made musical instruments for 45 years ( baroque guitar, hurdy gurdy, woodwinds, portative organ, 3D printed violin and now finishing a larger barrel organ ) . I collected as much information as I could ( Tedrow, Holden ) and I would very much get the instruction manual W Wakker provided with the Clover kit. So if anone has still lying that manual somewhere on a shelf I would be very happy to pay for it with p&p extra. Looking forward to your answer, best wishes from Jacques Thijs, Belgium, jt.mail@telenet.be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GABRIELOW Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hello, I once made a sort of stringed instrument cross between a psaltry, and zither, that's as far as I got.. but this project you are doing sounds very interesting. The portative organ you listed seems also very intriguing. Sorry I can't myself help you in your current project, but maybe someone else here will advise.. best of luck in your latest attempts.

Marcus Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I built the Clover kit a number of years ago and it certainly gave me a better understanding of how concertinas work but more than anything else it gave me HUGE respect for builders of these wonderful instruments.
