StuartEstell Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) For sale is my 2002 standard model A.C. Norman & co. 30-key C/G anglo. Some of you will be very familiar with the sound of this box from my recordings over the years; I'm raising funds for a really good Bb/F, so this needs a new home. This instrument is bright, loud and very fast for a hybrid concertina. It's had a smoke-free home, and despite heavy usage there is only light cosmetic wear to the wood stain on the handrests and along one edge (illustrated). Here is a recent sound file: https://soundcloud.com/lachenaliamusic/sweet-jenny-jones Earlier this year it was fine-tuned by Andrew Norman himself, and has had felt bushing added (as per his deluxe model) to reduce key noise. Andrew's current lead time for direct orders is 18-20 months, and I believe these instruments are now priced new in the region of £1400. With that in mind I'm asking £975, plus postage/insurance at cost. The pictured hard case is included. Please feel free to ask questions, and I'll happily take more photographs if requested. You are also welcome to come and try the instrument, which is in Birmingham, UK. If it sells through Concertina.Net I'll make the customary donation to the site. Thank you for your interest.

It would be interesting to hear another soundfile with the new owner playing the intrument at some point, as it sounded really great in your hands...
