chrisstevens Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 so anyone have any leads on an instrument like this (reds ok too)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzertino Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Yes, I own the one... Some 24 years ago Stephen Chambers stayed for a few months with me on a little farm in Carlow. One day we went to northern Ireland to see a fellow he knew ( and he knows many fellows in Ireland!! ), who finally sold me his dark grey box. It needed some work and Stephen convinced me to have the job done by Nielsen in England - who did a great job on it. Its a two row three-voice no coupler dark-grey Paoli Soprani in C#/ D in good original condition and very good playing order. Its airtight and has a new bass-side leather-strap. ..and it has that incredible sound-quality and volume... It has the number RB280 stamped on the back??? I have played it very little, as my main interest is in English concertinas and it has been sitting in it's leather pilot-case all those years. I was not planning on selling it, but there are a few very special and expensive English concertinas out there waiting for me ... It is definitely much better than the box that sold for almost 7000 Sterling ( see above ). So keep your offers rolling in!!! Details, pics or a youtube can be arranged. I'm not in a hurry!
