someone else will hopefully give you explanations and opinions. i dont have time tonight to find links to where others and myself have extensively talked about the merits of accordian reeds vs. "concertina" reeds, vintage vs. new, anglo vs. english, etc. hopefully someone else can help find you those links.
check out www.concertina.net/forums and search there for a lot of information. within the last week or two there have been several beginners asking questions, so you can check out that. if i have time later in the week i can post links to everything i reference.
Re: anyone know of a good place to buy a concertina? lookin to buy me one.
I have a Tedrow concertina. It's a first rate box. I paid a bit less than $2000.00 for it. I have a couple others, old Lachenals etc but I end up playing my Tedrow all the time. The bellows are just great and the sound fits in with other instruments very well.
