Looking at the dates, I think mine must have been one of the last few instruments Paul completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverton is discontinuing their standard model. Geuns says that they no longer make concertinas. I'll continue to update as I hear from other makers, if that won't be too annoying. Thanks for helping out. Are you sure about Geuns? Their website doesn't show this: https://bandoneon-maker.com/concertinas/ . Re the Wolverton standard model, their website says "only G/D models are available while my remaining reed stocks last." So I've left them on the intermediate list for now but can remove if need be.

Ah yes - I decided that was best as I'm only one person and the designs of the concertina reeded instruments I make have become somewhat more diverse and as they are quite popular it makes sense for me to focus on that. Still some G/D accordion reed sets left though! Edited October 19, 2023 by Jake Middleton-Metcalfe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check with Harry to see if this is a temporary pause or if he's permanently done with concertinas. If he might start producing them again, I will leave him on the list (along with several other makers who aren't currently accepting orders).

I heard back from Harry Geuns, who writes, "We have put the production of our concertina's on hold for some time already, and at the moment we cannot tell when or if we start production again. Maybe in the future." I will leave Geuns on the list for now, along with the other "not now" makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
