Kaleb Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I purchased this instrument from Edward Jay earlier this year. You can see the exact instrument on his website and YouTube channel (links below): http://edwardjay.net/paragraphsView.aspx?siteid=61&headerid=107&siteHeader=Hayden ←(Note layout shown at the bottom of this page) As Edward's website states, it's a 74 button (40RH + 33LH + Air) Hayden/Wicky Duet Concertina with 8-fold leather bellows and a square frame. The instrument comes with the case shown in the attached images, and Edward also provided an extra set of green lids with alternative fretwork. It's a wonderful instrument, perfect condition, and the only reason I am selling is because I actually commissioned another custom instrument from Edward. For everything shown (instrument, alternate lids, and case) I would like to sell for $4250 USD. Ideally I am trying to sell to someone also in the United States, but if you are very interested and live elsewhere, please reach out to me and we can discuss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vpo Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Wondering how you’ve found the different end casings have affected the quality of the tone of the instrument? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward and I both agree that the alternate green end casings do improve the sound quality of the instrument. The smaller openings produce a slightly sweeter and more crisp sound. Are you interested in purchasing this instrument? Would be great to have for the holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpo Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Haha.. yes thanks but am on Edward’s wait list but interested to know how you felt about the different design. Thanks for responding:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb Posted December 12, 2023 Author Share Posted December 12, 2023 Price is negotiable for anyone who is interested! Will start with an asking price of $4200 USD and willing to sell outside of the United States as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaleb Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 Hi Mike, I ended up sending this instrument back to Edward Jay so that he could repurpose some of the parts for my new instrument that I mentioned in the original post. So unfortunately it is no longer available. I am very pleased with my new Hayden, which I received from Edward early last month. So if you are interested in his instruments, I would definitely recommend reaching out to him, although I’m not sure how long his waitlist might be at the moment. Best of luck!

Mike Maddux Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Non problem, Kaleb. It's a bit of a hard instrument to find! Good luck to you, also. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest, what is the new instrument you've ordered? Bigger, smaller, different in other ways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new instrument that I redesigned with Edward Jay is the same size with the same square frame. The same bellows were used and repurposed for this new instrument. The main differences are: 1. The buttons and handle have shifted so that the handle is now closer to the center. This improves the balance. 2. The accidentals on the far right were removed so that the range could be extended. Red notes shown below were removed and green notes were added. Minor changes include: 1. The new instrument now has dual air buttons, one for each thumb. 2. The fretwork is now less fancy, but definitely improves the sound quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
