Did You Know?

Frank Edgley Concertinas have the deepest fold of any known contemporary concertinas, with a designed depth of 35 mm. With this depth and seven folds, they are capable of superior extension. Edgley concertinas are finished with the best quality goat hide. Goat has been known to be the best, and hardest-wearing of materials for bellows. Owners of Frank Edgley Concertinas should be able to pass their concertinas on to their children and/or grandchildren. fedgley@cogeco.ca

E-MAIL ADDRESS

Please use this e-mail when contacting me: fedgley@cogeco.ca . The edgley@concertinas.ca address has been giving me problems, and I'm not sure all correspondence is coming through.

No pictures yet, but there will be an ebony Professional Model, and an oak Session Box available soon. Both are C/G instruments. Call 519-991-3100 or e-mail me at fedgley@cogeco.ca for details.

Recent Concertinas

We have photos here showing two recently-made concertinas. The Bird's eye maple with ebony trim has been shipped to Ajax Ontario. The "Tree of Life" oak instrument (with rosewood trim) is destined for Paris. If you like either of these two concertinas and would like me to make a similar one for you, please contact me at 519-991-3100 or e-mail me at fedgley@cogeco.ca for more details.

An Easy Way to Purchase an Edgley

I know how these hard economic times is making the purchase of you next concertina more difficult. I am announcing a new programme to make it easier:
-Agree to pay the regular price as shown on my order form
-Pay the initial $250 downpayment.
-Arrange to pay a monthly amount, due at the first of every month
-When the instrument is paid off, I will ship it to you.
-If you find you cannot afford to continue payments and there is still an outstanding balance, you may ask for a refund.
-I will then put your instrument up for sale.
-When sold, I will send you a full refund less deposit and a small handling fee.


This is my version of the traditional "Lay Away Plan", popular in the '50s & 60s. If interested, call me at 519-948-9139 or e-mail me at fedgley@cogeco.ca .
