Ran across this today. Check out the boxed set of aeolas.

I have no affiliation with the seller, just thought they looked wonderful.

Thank you. I'm not in the market, but it was a pleasure to browse.

We've discussed them previously

Is it just me, but the prices seem significantly lower than over here, given that 1 AUD is about 54p?

I would like to know more about them

Sorry, did not realize the links in your post were what I was looking for.

Supply and demand is a major factor - our population  of concertina players is pretty small. That, coupled with issues selling/shipping overseas, results in  the lower prices.

Those Kookaburras are excellent concertinas.
