Advanced model
This instrument is based on concertina reeds which are hand made in my workshop. The instrument is made using almost exactly the same processes that were used in Victorian England, with only the highest quality materials. It is my belief that this approach is the best way to create a concertina. Each instrument is a work of art in which there is no compromise on quality. Because this instrument has hand made concertina reeds, it produces a beautifully resonant sound which parallels that of the best Victorian makers.
There is a good degree of flexibility in the design and it can be tailored within reason to individual requirements should you have any.
