Don Taylor Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Another interesting ad showed up on Kijiji today: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?utm_term=694636570&adId=1630707655&utm_campaign=Kijiji_Search_Alerts&utm_medium=email&siteLocale=en_CA&utm_source=alerts C$3,800 is about US$2,900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill N Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Is this a common button layout for a 40 key Anglo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Taylor Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Sorry Bill, this is not my concertina. (If I played Anglo then I suspect that I would be checking my bank account before telling anyone about this one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Coles Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 No, not typical. I'd be tempted to call it an F/Ab/Bb/C concertina! Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Smith Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Looks the same as the one on the Facebook group ‘concertinas for sale’, which says it’s in Cork, Ireland for 2,900 Euros - Unless it’s a scam of course!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it must be the same one. Something fishy going on here unless it is the same guy in Cork and Edmonton. Added: I have been in touch with the guy on Kijiji and he says that he was in Cork until recently and that it is the same concertina. I suggested that he should log in here.

gcoover Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 And a weird instrument as well, scam or not. It's basically a 1-row concertina with four different keys stacked like pancakes. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odonovanchris Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Hi Everyone. I am the seller of this instrument. Don contacted me on kijiji and let me know there was a post on here. I was on a short trip back to Ireland hoping to sell the concertina there but no takers yet. I have since returned to Canada with the instrument. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. It’s a genuine sale. Thanks. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Taylor Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) OK, so this really is genuine and Chris posted about it a couple of years ago in this very interesting discussion: A lot of history behind this instrument and a really interesting tuning. Chords on it sounded sweet even though it sat untouched for many decades. Edited August 28, 2022 by Don Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Smith Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Thanks. A really interesting history and background to this Anglo. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
