Thank you! I don't have the measurements documented per se but I took a lot of information from the works of Alex Holden. Here's his website: www.holdenconcertinas.com/ There is also a lot of info on concertina.net about concertina measurements.

@@cas_creations thank you! When it gets finished maybe i show you a vídeo:)

Likely somewhere between 1/32 to 1/64".

Thank you! The goal was to produce a playable instrument with as little expense as possible and to that end I feel relatively satisfied but certainly would change some things if I were to do something similar again.

Thanks. The last piece is Bach's Prelude in C minor from WTC 2.

@@cas_creations Thx ! :)

English Concertina i think

In the description is a link to a website containing dimensions for a full rank of stopped Bourdon pipes which I used to create mine. Good luck!

Thank you so much!

The reeds are from an old accordion I bought cheaply online

You could get the melody down pretty easily but the accompaniment would be tough to do at the same time. I didn't use any premade arrangements for this piece. I listed the chords in another comment below

@@cas_creations thanks youre a hero

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed and found it interesting and wish you luck if you make something like that!

Thanks. Although pipe voicing wasn't my forte and some pipes had more than others I was pleased with the sound.

That's alright, you'll get there someday

That's right!

Thank you! I have another video on my channel of another bach prelude on the organ as well.

@@cas_creations I will watch it! Thanks! I'm trying to make a pipe organ because you've inspired me.

Thank you! I don't have plans at the moment but I do have a crane duet build video on my channel as well.

Thanks for your kind words and I'm glad you got a lot from the video; it's a big reason I make these. This first concertina was built fairly roughly and I've learned a lot since then. My more recent concertina I built reflects this and I improved many things such as using phosphor-bronze wire for the springs. Surprisingly, the paper clip springs have held up relatively well even after all this time though. I may make an improved 30 button anglo build video in the future.

Thanks for your interest, but I don't have plans available for this instrument at the moment

Thank you for your answer, it’s a little bit sad (I am talking about plans). The instrument you have made is pretty good, great work 🤝

@@Oleg7212K It's not _really_ hard to make the box, buttons, etc. so you can easily copy whatever design you like best and just build it based on pictures - that's not the hardest part. The real difficulty comes with getting the action just right (when you press a button, you need it to work), and also making your own reeds and tuning them properly. Having plans wouldn't help you with either of these things. I hope that helps to motivate you to try it. I've gotten about 75% of the way with mine, and this guy's shown it can definitely be done! There's just not a lot of info about how to do it online; you have to really dig for it.

@@bverackaHello, I already started from the bellows. 😁

​@@Oleg7212K Awesome! I hope you complete your project eventually. It's _so cool_ to know that people are building their own concertinas, since the Chinese-made ones are terrible. Also, when it's finished, you'll know how to repair or modify it since you built it and know every part of its inner workings. I've dreamed of making my own 1-row / 10-button diatonic accordion, which is a similar project with very similar construction. TLDR: _Mega-_ kudos to you for starting! Upload a video when you start making the other parts and show it off! 👏

Haha, thanks. Would probably use a thin scroll saw blade if I did it again.

Developed them myself, taking inspiration from the design of existing concertinas. The work of Alex Holden, a modern concertina maker, was especially informative.

Probably about 6 months of noodling around. It wasn't too difficult to learn, just a matter of repeating it until it became part of my muscle memory

I made a few attempts at an organ years before this that didn't go anywhere, but for this iteration it took a few months of concentrated work

​@@cas_creationsok thank you, but few months for think about it and do it the project or just to have done it?

That was my number-one question. I've had a go at making my own (see my comment), and part of the reason why I put it on the back burner was because of the reeds. I just couldn't get the sound I wanted; I can tune free reeds with some level of proficiency - I wouldn't have a go at a big chromatic accordion but I can do harmonica and cajun accordion reeds - but actually _making_ reeds from scratch is a whole other mountain I've yet to climb. Even if he bought them, the result of his project is truly amazing. I've never seen anyone make an accordion or concertina in their home shop like this. It makes me want to have another go at mine.

Thanks. Reeds were from an old accordion

The cardboard segments were 4" long at their longest point and 1.25" wide. I cut the angle slightly more than 30 degrees to give room for the gussets to fold in.

@@cas_creations thanks! 😄

d, e, F, e, Bb, F, Bb, A, d, repeat.

Are those the chords?

Yep, minor in lowercase, major in capital@@waver8992
