Concertina in Canada

[Accordionne]

Bonjour communauté, 

Y-a-t-il des concertina de qualité à vendre dans notre pays. J'ai déjà contacté Frank Edgley. À part M. Edgley, quelqu'un d'expérimenté pourrais me guider sans avoir à mettre le prix d'une hypothèque sur un bon concertina...lol

Soit un anglo 30 notes ou un english 48 notes. Instruments en excellent état. 

Merci 😉

Hello community,

Are there any quality concertinas for sale in our country? I've already contacted Frank Edgley. Aside from Mr. Edgley, anyone with experience could guide me without having to spend a mortgage on a good concertina...lol.

Either a 30-note Anglo or a 48-note English. Instruments in excellent condition.

Thanks

Are you in Quebec?  I’m about to sell a ln ICC Clare in Vermont and could meet on the US side. It’s a 2017 model selling for 2000 USD. I can give a lot more information if you’re interested.

To compare with Edgley, for price, quality of manufacture, I would order an Edgley, taking into account taxes, customs, transport, being in the comfort of my home. (...) Without having to move. [...] Reflection. [...]

I'm really happy with my Edgley Heritage.   And Frank is great to deal with and/or to just talk concertinas.

N'oubliez pas qu'il y a une Clare à vendre dans le Vermont que vous pouvez avoir immédiatement.

Thanks David, I may have found in Europe, my very good friend Laurent Jarry is on an interesting track.

You can't go wrong with Laurent Jarry.  My gold ended piccolo came from him and a friend purchased her 48 button tenor treble from him.  No problems at all. Highly recommended.

Jarry?

Laurent Jarry in Montreuil, France

One of my secret go to search places.

 

Accordion specialist but he usually has some of the most amazing top tier concertinas available. I’m quite sure that my wonderful gold ended piccolo Aeola 28226 that came from him unrestored on consignment from a famous circus family is the only one in existence.

And the advantage of getting a French instrument is that they are commonly tuned to A=435, French Continental pitch (versus A=452 High Philharmonic pitch) so you only have to slightly touch the tip of the reed tongue with the file to get to modern A=440 which doesn’t affect the voicing.  Quick and easy with minimal play in afterwards.

Laurent Jarry's website site says he's retiring in September, everything being sold off.
