Tedrow “Jeffstone”

[Bob Tedrow]

I’ve added a draw C# to a modest ( though fully functional) Trinity College concertina on RH top row 2nd button. 
 

will that satisfy those who often hunger in vain for a modest concertina upon which to learn trad Irish concertina?

let me know if this link fails. It’s just a hair too large to post directly on Cnet

If Jeffries, draw C# on 1st button and push C# on 2nd button will be needed, I suppose.

[Bob Tedrow]

From my experience,most people prefer the first button too RH to have a push C# rather than a pull C#

[Leah Velleman]

So a normal Jeffries looks like this:

• First push: something else
• First pull: C#
• Second push: C#
• Second pull: something else

Some people, like Dana Johnson, do an extended Jeffries with an additional C#, so it looks like this:

• First push: C#
• First pull: C#
• Second push: C#
• Second pull: something else

It sounds like you're proposing this:

• First push: C#
• First pull: something else
• Second push: something else
• Second pull: C#

Which is cool, but it's really completely inside-out from what a Jeffries has on those two buttons, and only a little overlapping with the extended Jeffries. I'm not sure how useful it would be.

 

Or am I misunderstanding your description?

Or... just make every button in the top row C# in both directions.

[Bob Tedrow]

My point is that there is little consensus on what comprises a Jeffries system

Hi
What do you think about synthetic leather gussets deteriorating over time and forming holes?
Also, if you were to replace it with genuine leather, how much do you think it would cost?

Good question, but please start a new topic to discuss it. Thanks.
