Sadie Posted August 4, 2023 Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) Carroll Concertina #278, C/G 30-button. lt is the standard size in all black with a celtic tree endplate design and adjustable handlebars. I am the original owner of this instrument, I had it built towards the end of 2019. No leaks, holes, scratches, or damage of any kind. Occasionally the endplate screws need re-tightening, but when I asked the repair folks at the Button Box they told me it was nothing to worry about and is fairly normal with new instruments. Good volume, bright tone, and fast action, if I played more I would keep her, but I don't and she's too lovely to sit around and collect dust! Asking $5800 $5500 (+shipping), comes with hard case.

Sadie Posted August 28, 2023 Author Posted August 28, 2023 Yes, it is still for sale. I sent a response to your first message on Friday, did you not receive it?
Parker135 Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 Just found it. Sorry, and thank you! I guess I was assuming some kind of notification from the site or maybe auto-forwarding to my email address. I'm not all that up-to-speed on how the site works.
Joe G. Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Is your Carroll still for sale? If so, where are you? If you're in the Pacific Northwest, I'd like to play it first and then decide about buying it.
Sadie Posted September 8, 2023 Author Posted September 8, 2023 Hi Joe, The Carroll is still available. Unfortunately, I couldn't be much farther away from you as I'm located in New England.
Joe G. Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 Well, dang! I don't need another concertina, but yours is really tempting. I'll keep thinking about it.
Joe G. Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 Sadie, I sent you a message asking why the Carroll didn't get the playing time that you'd surely envisioned for it. I didn't mean to offend, if I did, or suggest anything judgmental. Mainly I'm curious as to whether the Carroll was competing for your attention with an instrument that you were already accustomed to playing, and if so, what is the other instrument? I'm still trying to make up my mind about justifying another concertina purchase. Anything you can tell me will help. Thanks!
Sadie Posted September 9, 2023 Author Posted September 9, 2023 No worries Joe! I just replied, and yes I am keeping my first concertina, a 1910s George Jones.
Imelda Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 Hi Sadie, is this concertina still available?
Imelda Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 Hi Sadie, is this concertina still available?
Joe G. Posted September 11, 2023 Posted September 11, 2023 Hiya Sadie, I've sent a personal message. All best, Joe
