Hello,
I’m new to this part of C&F, but there are a few posts of mine in the ‘Whistle’ and ‘World/Folk Winds’ sections.
I’ve got a Delicia Popular C/F melodeon, which I’d like to swap for a C/G 30-button (Anglo-)concertina of similar quality.
The melodeon is in almost mint condition. It comes from the '80s, but hadn’t been played much for almost two decades. I bought it three years ago. It needed some (very little) retuning, which was also an occasion to ‘dry’ the sound down a bit (some tremolo still left, though). I started playing quite extensively, but stopped on my way - for the past two years it’s been my Sunday afternoon toy to entertain my family rather than a serious instrument
.

Although it comes with a single strap, I’m using a two-strap system, attached to the original single-strap bracket. The original strap is calmly waiting for changes in a drawer. Original hard case included.
No signs of abuse, just the name plate ‘Popular’ missing from the front panel on the treble side (bought without it).
New - in D/G - sell for almost 550 English pounds; see:
PM me if you’re interested. I don’t think I would just sell it, but feel free to make offers if you haven’t got a spare concertina.
Thanks a lot.
Ah, and one more thing - I’m located in Poland, so European swappers preferred.
