Concertina Heather Black

This is the Heather Black concertina from The Celtic Flute Shop. It is tuned in C/G with 30 buttons. The layout is Wheatstone/Lachenal.

Product Contents: Concertina body, hard case (no key), fingering chart, Celtic Flute Shop user guide, handmade bookmark.

Usage Period: Approximately 1 year and 1 month.

Compared to New: There are minor scratches as shown in the photos. The biggest difference from a new one is the strap. For my hands, even with the strap tightened to the maximum, it was still loose and unplayable, so I made an extra hole with a drill. (See photos 8 and 9). All notes sound. There was a button that was difficult to press until recently, but I fixed it myself the other day, so there are no problems now. However, when I fixed it, the internal wire had moved on its own, which was making the button difficult to press, so I fixed the wire in place with glue. You should be able to see this if you open the left-hand side.

Regarding accessories other than the main unit: The hard case also shows signs of use. The fingering chart and user guide have folds and tears. The bookmark is handmade. I made it recently. I drew a picture inspired by this instrument, and the flowers on the back of the drawing are intended to be Heather, the flower that gives this concertina its name. I'm not very good at drawing, but I would be happy if you could use it. Please consider it a bonus.

Shipping: Shipping will be via RakuRaku Mercari便. It can be changed to YuYu Mercari便.
The maximum shipping time is 7 days. Depending on the timing, it may be possible to ship sooner, so please consider it 1-7 days.

This concertina is my second. My first had 20 buttons, so I was able to significantly improve my skills with this instrument. However, I recently purchased a third instrument, so I expect to use this one less frequently. I would like to pass it on to someone who will use it more than I do, which is why I am listing it for sale. Thank you.
