Thread Name: information on this concertina please
Subject: information on this concertina please
Flickr link
made in the German Democratic Republic, must be over 22 years ago.
It has been donated as a fund raiser for Stroud FM (community radio in Gloucestershire UK)
It seems to have a row of chords on one side (upper row - (RHS I think))
wooden construction, leather straps.
We will try to sell it but first I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what/where/when/why and things like that. Being only a humble bodhran player I have little idea of how typical of concertinas it is.
I have come across larger but simlar items labelled "Klezma" instruments, the button/note arrangements suiting that genre.
TIA
