Bob
Tedrow, owner of Homewood Musical in Alabama has been steadily growing his concertina-related
knowledge and services and has, over the years, become an important part of the
concertina community in North America. Many people know his "Turbo Stagi"
(I don't think he doesn't call them that, though I think this is how many people
now know them!) Italian concertina rebuilds. These are inexpensive (relative to
other concertinas!) concertinas that have had some substantial modifications made
to overcome many of the shortcomings of the stock Stagi concertinas. Bob is also
now making his own line of handmade anglo concertinas, and from what I can tell
they are very much in the vein of the Marcus, Norman, Herrington, and Morse accordion-reed
concertinas. The price is also very much in line with these models, so be sure
to check out Bob's new concertina if you're in the market for a sub-$2000 anglo.
As always, if anyone has had a chance to try one and would like to post a comment
