Recently shipped Concertinas

I've posted photos of two of my recent instruments...a curly maple, and another eucalyptus burl. I will have to find some more of the very nice curly maple as I am now out of this fine wood. However, I still have enough of the eucalyptus burl for a few more instruments. I have a number of concertinas in the works of various other woods. Please e-mail me at fedgley@cogeco.ca if you are interested in one of these, or if you would like me to make one for you of eucalyptus burl. Once this wood is gone, I doubt I will have any more, as it is not easy to get or to work with. C/G Wheatstone or C/G Jeffries are available as standard. I also make Bb/F. I have one set of A/E Wheatstone reeds, as well. A/E is a great key range. It provides a very mellow tone for singing, and is a great solo or solo plus guitar because of the tone and quickness of response. fedgley@cogeco.ca

Contact me by e-mail at fedgley@cogeco.ca . THIS INSTRUMENT HAS BEEN SOLD.

A Few New Instruments

Here are a couple of new instruments, just recently completed. One is a birdseye maple with pau forro trim. It was recently shipped to a customer in Yokohama, Japan. The other instrument is a wooden ended special Professional Model, of bubinga with pau ferro and bloodwood trim. Here are the comments of the new owner:
"Hi Frank,
Just wanted to let you know the concertina arrived safely yesterday afternoon and we love it ! We thought the pictures you posted on the web site were beautiful and of course it's even more so in person. Thanks very much for your fine work. The bubinga wood and the trim woods are great and we love the way you oriented the grain on the ends and the way you did the handles, beautiful stuff. Now it's on to learning to
play it. Would it be possible for us to get a copy of your concertina tutor ? Once again, thank you for building us a beautiful musical instrument>"

Bocote Concertina

This instrument is still available for immediate sale & shipping. If you will notice, the pattern on this instrument matches side to side (bookmatched). This is not only a great looking instrument, but really made me want to sell my own and take this one...great sound. Contact me at fedgley@cogeco.ca for details.....special price available! This instrument has been SOLD, but please check out the instruments below. A few are still available.

A Recent Concertina

Here are photos of a eucalyptus burl concertina recently finished at my workshop. The eucalyptus looks a lot like amboyna, doesn't it? It is destined for someone in Michigan. I have a very limited amount of this wood, but could make one for a couple of interested people. In fact, I really like it, myself, so I think one of these will become mine in the near future. If you would like one of these beauties, call me at 519-991-3100 or send me an e-mail at fedgley@cogeco.ca .
