Hello,
I am selling my vintage concertina to finance my newly received Dipper. It’s on ebay.
As I said on concertina.net, I’m open to private offers but won’t be cancelling the auction once there’s a bid on it. Since I’m starting high, I don’t expect a bid very early.
A very nice-looking, great-sounding and thoroughly reconditioned tina for someone looking for that vintage “real-concertina-reeded” sound (and not likely to receive a new Dipper any time soon 
).
Steve, you’re describing 99% of accordeon-reeded concertina players 
Well I’m accordion-reeded myself (three per note 
).
Hmm, doing a quick calculation I think I probably have 162 reeds in the treble side of my box (27 buttons x 3 voices x 2 directions) and another 96 on the bass side (12 buttons x 4 voices x 2 directions) for a total of 254. At the price I paid for the accordion this works out to about Cdn $10 per top-quality (tipo a mano) accordion reed.
That yoke you’re advertising on eBay has 60 reeds, yes? Which means that you are looking to get almost Cdn $110 per reed, and hopefully more. Leaving Dippers out of the calculation 
- those concertina reeds must be something special. 
PS About time you changed your avatar to something more colourful!
So what you;re telling me is that accordion reeds are pretty much worthless? Allright, it’s noted 
Good point about the avatar, some dark-orange would lighten up the sky…
