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.
FS: Possible Crabb/Jeffries concertina

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!
