How Do A Dipper Clare And Cotswold Compare?


Recommended Posts

Hello folks

 

I am deciding between a Dipper Cotswold or a Clare model C/G Anglo concertina. I was hoping people with experience with one or both of those could share their impressions about the instrument(s), especially how they compare with one another. I understand the Clare is specifically for Irish music and is "fast". I was told the Cotswold is sweeter sounding than the Clare but does not have the speed ("but is in no way slow"). I am leaning towards choosing the Cotswold. I play Irish music and would like an instrument that has a lovely tone and will play and respond as fast as I might be able to play some day. Would the Cotswald hold me back? How is the tone of the Clare? Is it the smaller size of the Clare that makes it easier to handle and thus faster. I am curious.

 

Thanks

Richard
