Anybody Else In Denver?

[patrickmcb]

I am looking at jumping in and purchasing a Concertina. I have been reading and watching videos online, cool training on the English on YouTube, after watching the first 3 lessons I know I could do it. I have even tried to find a Concertina in Denver. I just love a scavenger hunt.

 

So far I have found only found 1 shop.... They had a Hohner D-40 and what looked like a Stagi A-48, I believe is was a tenor. All the shop keeper could testify to is that the Hohner was an Anglo and the Stagi was an English, and that one came with a bag, and the other a box..... he also yelled my kid for touching something. hmmmm

 

The Hohner is not for me, If I go Anglo I want a 30 button and I am a tired of Chinese manufacturing practices in general. So much for he new world economy, same old junk from new places. Ebay is flooded with it... Sorry, I will stop now

 

I am also on the fence with going Anglo/English. It would be helpful to see some other boxes and actually speak with their owners while I raise the capital to make the investment.

 

I play guitar, and am currently restoring a flute and clarinet, own a few saxophones, a piano.... I like the idea of doing accompaniment, so that points to English, however being able to tear off a jig leads me to the Anglo....hmmmm

 

The term: Squeeze, now has a whole new meaning!

Patrick, I live in Boulder and play both Anglo and English. Most weeks I play at the Sunday night Irish session in Boulder. Send me an e-mail via this site and we'll get in touch.

Reviving this ancient thread. I started playing less than a year ago and am looking for fellow anglo players in Denver. i play a Rochelle and am now considering the big upgrade.

It's been a couple of years, but I remember seeing a couple of ITM Anglo players at the Sunday afternoon session in downtown Boulder.
