Concertinas

 

"Garvey Concertina "

This concertina is made for me in Klingentel, Germany and is designed similar to the professional concertinas, where the buttons, when pressed go into a similar drilled board underneath, thus keeping the buttons alligned and not able to go off centre. The reeds are also lying flat on the reed pan as on the professional concertinas.

The Garvey Concertina is a student concertina but a very well designed concertina and definitely an upgrade from Staggi or other starter models.

This concertina at euro800 is best described as a very good and well designed student model with nothing to compete with it only the mid range concertinas like the Morse or the Dublin concertina or AC Norman.

The AC Norman Concertina

This is a top of the range, high quality , hand made instrument from Andrew Norman. The ends are steel and the design is from a Jeffreys AC Norman also make the Clareman concertina and I am assured from Andrew there is absolutly no difference except the name.

"Dublin Concertina"

This is a concertina made by Harry Geuns from Belgium. I have got great reaction from anyone who has tried these concertinas.

The action is very good and they are so light. The buttons are the same as on the Suttner concertinas as Harry buys some of his parts with Suttner.

This concertina is on a par with the A C norman, Clareman, Egley, Marcus or any other concertina using Accordion reeds.

I have a sample for teachers to try out.

AIDI Concertina

This is the Hohner type concertina and possibly made in the same factory judging by its design. This concertina comes with a hard case from AAA.

I have been selling these since october 2007 and teachers seem to find them as good as any starter available.
