This is a Shakespeare 48-Key Anglo in G/D with steel reeds. It has been fitted with new pads and valves, and tuned to concert pitch (A=440hz),

It’s important to point out straight away that this is not a fantastic concertina. Some Shakespeare anglos are pretty high quality, but this isn’t one of them. That’s not to say that it wouldn’t do a job for somebody- G/D anglos are very high in demand and there aren’t too many of them around in comparison with C/Gs, and this is a chance to own a metal-ended, steel reeded anglo with a large number of buttons and extra accidentals for a very reasonable price. It isn’t a very quick player, and the tone is balanced- if not a little towards to treble-y end of things. It’s in pretty good condition overall.

This is a concertina that came in as a trade-in, and we’re just looking to make our money back on it, which is why we’re selling it cheaper.
