Changes at Wolverton Concertinas

[Jake Middleton-Metcalfe]

Some of you might have noticed that I stopped accepting new orders a while ago, this was because my waiting list got to a point of 3+ years which is beyond my event horizon somewhat.

 

What will happen now is the existing orders will be fulfilled until my order book is empty and then I will simply make instruments then advertise them for sale on my website and sell them on a first come first served basis, more or less. Potentially some commissions will be taken but probably only as much work as can be done in 6-8 months. It will probably be a couple of years before I get to this stage as I intend to fulfil every order on my list. 

 

If anyone wants to be kept updated on this process and when things will start becoming available I am making a mailing list - if you want to be added to the list just send me an email - my details are here: https://wolvertonconcertinas.com/contact/

I didn't realise you were making any 40-key instruments. That one looks gorgeous, and no doubt sounds gorgeous too. I would love one, but arguably have too many already and, if you did make one for me, it would compete with at least a few of the others for playing time. So just carry on and make them for other players.

As the proud owner of the pictured 40-button instrument, I can confirm—it's even more gorgeous in person, and sounds wonderful. Well worth the wait!

I am glad you enjoy it, yes that one pictured is yours. I was particularly fond of that one.

Yes, 40 and actually 41 button Anglos are possible for me these days. English concertinas are still in the pipeline. 

 

Enjoy the music you are playing, whatever you are playing it on that's the main thing.
