Have anyone tried this one ? How was the weight ??

I sometimes bring 22-key Lachenal for travelling, but this one seems better for its smaller size

It's adorable!

I've never used this one, but I had a 30-key C/G Marcus for awhile that was a sweet little instrument. Marcus is a good maker.

It is rather cute, and oh thank ye Concertina Gods it has a C# key.

 

But, the Tedrow Zephyr is still the anglo I will buy when I win the lottery (so don't start carving one out for me Ted, its along ways down the road.) well, if I'm ever that rich I'll be a real decadant bastard and buy a score of boxes.

 

Someday i may return to the anglo, after my walk-about with the Crane and MacCaan duets.

Wow, check out those tuning and revalving prices at Marcus, thats pretty good, thats almost 1/3rd what I paid to have my 46key box re-tuned/revalved.

The smaller size means smaller cross sectional area, means more bellows movement to pump the same amount of air; might be a drawback on an Anglo perhaps? (Might be a drawback on any concertina now I think about it!)
