Both items mentioned are minor- please see photos, as I have zoomed in on these parts. Again, it came to me this way, and I didn't want to change this whistle in any way. Two minor items I'd like to point out: First, upon close inspection, the mouthpiece does not appear to be perfectly symmetrical- I received it this way, and it appeared to me as just being made this way(due to it being a hand-made item) Second, there is a tiny place on the bottom edge of the whistle that needs to be filed down so it will be smooth. It is still in the same used condition as when I purchase it, which I would describe as"Good" Cosmetically, it could use a cleaning/polishing, but I'll leave that up to the new owner.

I sold this concertina to a Japanese concertina player after I had enjoyed playing it.Used Michael Copeland high D whistle. I chose the latter because it's cheaper than the former. Other reeds that I use when I play Irish music were responsive.įrank offers good custom-fitted cases or waterproof storm cases. Thanks, Frank!Īnd I adjusted its low-G reed on the left-hand side because it wasn't very responsive. At last, it stopped making tinkling sound. And it has wider bellows frames than our other concertinas.īecause its B-flat reed on the left-hand side had metallic tinkling sound when I received it, I realigned the reed using a small blade according to Frank's advice. It has riveted concertina reeds (reed tongues are riveted on reed frames) and hook action. I guess the tone of Suttner concertinas is a little brighter than the one of Edgley Heritage models.Īlthough it isn't as good as Dipper or Jeffries, I guess it's worth the price.
I can play it as if I played a Suttner concertina. It'a a Heritage model which has concertina reeds. I bought a C/G anglo concertina from Frank Edgley in September, 2015.
