G'day padgett,

Unfortunately, it isn't quite that simple. The characteristics of the "concertina reeds" in a classic London-made concertina are a complex product of reed characteristics /location and design of the reed's space / layout and materials of the body ends ... quite apart form individual making / tuning and 'voicing' skills. The mounting of 'accordion reeds' is quite different (usually 2-to-a-plate - rather than the concertina's single reeds in tapered, radiused, bevelled brass reed shoes - each fitting into specifically sized, matching, tapered, radiused and bevelled slots.

It may not be simple to do the change ... and individually made-to-order reeds would cost something like AUD$30 each, here in Australia ... and there are 60 of them in a 30-key Anglo-chromatic ... and 96 in a standard-sized English system box! Even made up and fitted as a set, this is looking like a 4-figure price tag ... and liable to have a waiting time approaching that of a new craftsman-made instrument.

Regards,

Bob
