Our Latest

Here is the latest Professional Model, fresh off the tuning table.....bookmatched cocobolo, hand-polished stainless grills. It will soon be off to a happy concertina player in Kilkenny, Ireland. Contact me at fedgley@cogeco.ca, or call 519-991-3100, on or after the last week of February, as I will be taking a short break, until then.

Upcoming Performance

I will be performing, in concert, on March 10, with my band, "Finn McCoul", along with the "North Atlantic Drift", on March 10, 2:00 PM, at MacKenzie Hall, in the Old Sandwich district of Windsor. I will be using my Professional Model Bb/F concertina, my C/G Heritage Model concertina, as well as Highland pipes. My fellow band members are Tim Logsdon, mandolin and cittern; David Light, guitar and vocals; and Frank J. Edgley on fiddle. The North Atlantic Drift features Sligo-born and bred Brian Taheny on tenor banjo and guitar; Cape Breton master fiddler, Dan MacDonald; and Ross Griffiths on pipes, whistles and bodhran. This promises to be a really good show. If you are in the area, contact me at 519-991-3100 for ticket information.

The New Heritage

I have completed two more Heritage Model Concertinas. These instruments will not disappoint their new owners..... Good strong tone capability, without harshness or stridency, and also capable of being played very softly, offering a full range of dynamics.
Having had thirteen years of experience making concertinas with Italian-style reeds, and over thirty years of experience repairing and restoring antique vintage instruments with "concertina reeds," I know what sound I am looking for and what makes a good concertina, and have the skills, tools, and knowledge to do so.
These two concertinas will soon be off to their new owners on the west coast of the US, as soon as tuning is completed, and the cases made for them. Pictures to follow soon.....

Customer Information Needed

I was contacted on my mobile phone (cell) a few days ago while I was driving in my car. (Don't worry. I have bluetooth in my car.) The person who contacted me asked whether I had received his order form. I wasn't sure at the moment, but since I had printed a few orders the day before, I assumed that I had. When I arrived at the workshop I realised that I had not, and I can't find anything in my "Received Messages" on my e-mail. If you are the person who called me around Christmas, please send me another e-mail, so I know your contact information.
Thanks.....

CDs and Concertinas

Due to the success of the offer of a free promotional CD, I am extending this offer to another 10 persons who would like to hear my concertinas. Please send the request to fedgley@cogeco.ca along with your address. I'll try to get it to you as soon as possible. Because it is free, I am saving shipping expenses by only shipping the CD. My Heritage Model has taken off. Remember, the very low introductory price only lasts until December 31. After that, prices will go up.

Free CD

This is offer to anyone who may be thinking about a new concertina. I will send a promotional copy of my new CD to the first 10 people who request a copy of my order form, for either my hybrid line of hand-made concertinas, or the new Heritage Model. Just send an e-mail to me at fedgley@cogeco.ca , with your mailing address, and I will forward the CD and order form to you as soon as possible, at no charge. There is no committment to purchase, but I feel that if you are thinking about a new instrument, and you listen to the CD, it will inform you about what a new Edgley can do for you. All tracks on this 50+ minute CD were recorded using Edgley concertinas. fedgley@cogeco.ca .

Concertinas Available Soon

I am currently working on a new concertina. It is a genuine ebony, stainless grills, seven fold bellows, Professional Model. It could be ready within a month or so. I am also working on another concertina made of a beautifully figured piece of cocobolo. very similar to the one posted a short while ago. A free storm case is available, as well as a free copy of my newest CD, which will be sent on ahead of the concertina. If you are interested in one of these concertinas, or would like me to make one specially for you, please call me at 519-991-3100 or email me at fedgley@cogeco.ca .
