Paul Read Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I have just listed a very nice Koot Brits Edeophone-shaped 40-button anglo on Ebay. It is showing up on Ebay.com but not ebay.co.uk. Would this be because of the Paypal issues? For anyone interested it is here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Brits-40-button-anglo-...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dunk Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 What a lovely looking 'tina! Makes me wish I could play an anglo. As to your question, there are quite a few listings on ebay UK from Canadian sellers (melodeons) at the moment and so I would think you have a different problem, can't imagine what though ...

Paul, It's been showing up all the time in my searches of ebay.co.uk... Strange; if I add "Brits" I get it but I don't get it if I write "Concertina" or "Wheatstone".

ben Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Pete, Here is another photo of a Koot Brits C/G anglo concertina that was built this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalin Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 By the way there's not much on the net about Koot Brits concertinas... I'm curious about them. How do they compare with other concertinas? Is it in the same leagues as a Lachenal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it in the same leagues as a Lachenal? I had the chance to play the listed instrument when I was in Canada recently - far better than just about any lachenal I've ever played. Nice, solid action and a good sound. Certainly I've played some wheatstones that were no better. aesthetics are personal taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) Azalin, It is not on the same level as a new Steve Dickenson Wheatstone, Dipper, Carroll or Jeffries....and neither is the price or waiting time. He builds six sided, eight sided, ten sided and 12 sided anglos too. The newer Koot Brits concertinas, according to Brits, will have the option of being made with rivited action or "hook and spring" action. Koot Brits and Willie van Wyk have finally been convinced to employ CNC technolgy i.e. lasers and computers to manufacture their reeds and reedframes. The technology exists in South Africa but the costs were not feasible for many years. Hopefully when several more modifications and improvements have been made Koot Brits and Willie van Wyk can place an ad on Concertina.net Edited August 20, 2008 by Ben Otto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the button action more responsive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) Here is a YouTube link to Koot Brits and the concertina that was sold on Ebay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4xjfQ8DGiE&fmt=18 I have also placed a link on the Concertina Video forum of C.net. Ascribe it to "enthusiastic redundancy". Edited August 31, 2008 by Ben Otto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
