English Concertina For Sale

[Jay Lamsa]

After long thought on the subject, I've decided to sell my Morse Albion English concertina. As to the particulars:

 

37 buttons (G below middle C to D'')

Cherry ends

6 bellows

Manufacturers number 078

This model does not have an air button

Accordion reeds

Leather bellows made with acid-free card stock

Black domed delrin buttons

 

One thing you'll notice right away is how light this instrument is, very comfortable to use and play. The concertina has a bright tone but not overpowering. The action of the buttons is great - I originally sold a Lachenal Excelsior from the late 1800's because the action on this newer concertina was so much better. It really improved my playing. This is a high quality instrument in an intermediate price range.

Why am I selling? I was fortunate enough to get a truly wonderful vintage concertina, and also recently bought a baritone, so I have finally decided I can't keep the Morse any longer. That and the fact I need a new furnace, have college tuition payments, etc. The usual story.

This really is an excellent instrument, so drop me a note if you are interested. It comes with and will be shipped in the famous, nearly indestructable IBM shipping case - not a pretty case, but very protective. I'll be happy to talk price with interested parties. Happy to answer any questions, and can take some pictures and send them along if you are interested.
