Gan Ainm Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I'm looking for an anglo in F/C. Any size from 20 key upwards. Concertina reeds preferred, but would also consider accordion reeds. If you have one for sale, or know where I could find one, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have one for sale, or know where I could find one, please let me know. I'm a collector, player and rebuilder of concertinas. I may have enough parts, in my shop, to build a 20-26-button Lachenal anglo for you. (from hand-made & Lachenal parts) I can also give a customer reference, from one who also uses these forums. We should talk about details. Reliable offer, no scam. Kerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I'm looking for an anglo in F/C. They're very rare in my experience, and tend to be larger than normal to accomodate those big, low reeds. The last one I had was a raised-ended Wheatstone in baritone size.

Ken_Coles Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I've thought about getting an F/C. A year or two ago I asked Doug C. and Bob S. if they could make a Morse Ceili in F/C and they said yes, as a special order. I may do that one of these days.

Takayuki YAGI Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 It might be of your interest that concertina connection makes 2 Wakker anglo models (30-key hexagonal and 39-key octagonal ) in F/C. -- Taka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack hare Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I have a Wakker 30 key anglo in F and C. I have been playing it for several months now and I can confirm that it's an excellent instrument. It has a very rich sound, and gives me good low chords which, interestingly, don't drown the melody. I'm sure other makers would produce good F/C boxes, but this is a very good product.

Marien Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 They ... tend to be larger than normal to accomodate those big, low reeds. The last one I had was a raised-ended Wheatstone in baritone size. I think that my Wakker 30 button FC is the same size of a Wakker GD. It measures 16.5 cm (across flats) whereas a lachenal CG is about 15.8 cm across flats. marien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
