Anglo Concertina tone comparison.

I played the same melody on two different anglo concertina using the same recording device for tone comparison. One has concertina reeds and the other has accordion reeds. Please guess which came first.

[@SqueezeboxOfDelights]

First one is hybrid with accordion reeds, second one has accordion reeds! They both sound lovely, but the first one is quite sharp and the second has a warmer tone

[@krygkn11]

Yes, first one is with accordion reeds.

[@SqueezeboxOfDelights]

Whoops, just noticed I put accordion reeds for both rather than concertina reeds for the second. My mistake haha

[@guywolff]

The second one had more mid range so I am guessing that is the one with the acordian reeds ... :)

[@krygkn11]

Second one has old Lachenal reeds, so not accordion reeds.

[@jordan23184]

First one is hybrid ? But it does sound like a genuine concertina :-)

[@krygkn11]

You are right. The first one is hybrid.

[@jordan23184]

So which one is a hybrid ? :-) And may I ask what model it is ? Thank you

[@krygkn11]

First one is made by Frank Edgley with accordion reeds. Second one is made by John Connor with old set of Lachenal reeds.

@@krygkn11 Thank you ! Interesting, I didn't expect an Edgley, sound good
