This is a top quality instrument from a respected maker. It needs no work at all. It is in perfect tune and has good volume and excellent projection. Many players prefer Wally Carroll concertinas from this period. They are very strong players without ever sounding strident or harsh.
This is not the third concertina that Wally Carroll made. It is the third concertina that he perfected. It plays beautifully, with both sweetness and power. The action is fast and smooth. The bellows are perfect. It was made in 2004 and since then it has been very little played. The real concertina reeds are metal, in brass frames, and are bright and shiny as new. I'll be happy to send more pictures on request.
It plays effortlessly, works perfectly, and has no issues. It has a very clear, bright tone. New this would cost $6,250, plus postage and insurance, and would entail a wait time of about 15 months.
There is nothing about this concertina that is not to like. It will be shipped in a protective hard case. I will ship anywhere and I will of course offer a no-questions-asked money-back guarantee with the instrument. Postage is included in the asking price.
