One reason the price of Anglos went through the roof was the popularity of shows like (particularly) Riverdance. Every budding musician in Ireland wants a Jeffries.

Currently there's a Jeffries Ab/Eb, wooden ended, refurbished with Dipper bellows, offered at $13000 at the Button Box. (That's close to GBP 8500 at today's rates). But who wants to play in Eb? You can't play with anyone else.
