Cholla45 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Before he passed away in 2004, my late husband bought a brand-new high-end concertina. He only got to play it once or twice so, while technically "used", this instrument is for all intents and purposes brand new. I'm finally ready to part with it - I think Patrick would like it if someone could make the music with it he never got to make. The Céilí is a really special instrument, according to the McNeela Music blog (link below). I've kept the concertina in its original, sturdy case and have all the documentation proving ownership. It's the Wheatstone layout, cherry laminate with rosewood stain, key of G/D. If you bought a new one today you'd pay over $2500 - the most recent price I could find was $2575 in 2019. I'm offering it for $1500 & will pay to ship it to you - I'm in California.

I don’t know if you’re aware The Button Box (makers of R. Morse concertinas) ceased production earlier this year, ceased its retail business, and now is only a repair shop. But I bet they have a list of people looking for an instrument like this. If you can’t sell it here, you might get in touch with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillser Nic Amhlaoibh Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 It may also help to get more eyes on this listing if you edit the title of it to include "G/D" in it, that way it'll jump out at the folks who are specifically seeking an anglo concertina in this tuning. Best of luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia M F Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 i don't know why I'm having such a hard time making this reply - sorry! But if this is still available I'm very interested! What part of CA are you at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla45 Posted September 5, 2022 Author Share Posted September 5, 2022 Hi Julia, The concertina has a new owner. I posted about it in a reply but maybe I need to change the subject line on this discussion - I'll try to figure that out. Thanks for your interest!

Jillser Nic Amhlaoibh Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 If you read through the older posts on this thread the seller posted on Aug 30th that the concertina had sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
