Description

Saga Musical Instruments is proud to re-introduce its line of Trinity College Concertinas! These handcrafted instruments are authentic reproductions of the original instruments, introduced in the early 19th century in England and Germany. Trinity College offers both of the two major types-the Anglo and the English models. The Anglo model is a bisonoric design-much like today's harmonica-where a different note is produced by the push and pull motion of the bellows. This type of mechanism lends itself perfectly for many styles of ethnic or folk dance music. The English style of concertina operates on a unisonoric system where each push and pull of the bellows gives the same note when any given key is held down. The English System alternates the notes of the scale between two hands, enabling the execution of rapid melodies. The English System style concertina is quite versatile and can be used for many styles of folk dance music as well as Classical music in the hands of a virtuoso. The player holds each side of the instrument with the attached thumb strap-as opposed to the Anglo style instrument where the straps cover the entire hand.

Instrument is great to play, sounds good, solid.	March 29, 2021
Reviewer: N.M from Montana. USA

The AP-1230 is a great sounding concertina for the price. The action is solid and smooth playing. Nice sound. Well built.
The customer service in ordering and getting is was not 5 star however. They need to work on communication with the people that order. I ordered before Christmas and received it 4 months later in March. They told me it was backordered. I had to work at getting any email correspondence from the company. They never made the initiative in letting me know the status. By February, I thought it might be a scam and was about to put a hold on my credit card, when they replied to my final email. If they would work on communicating with the customers, it would be top notch. I'll still do business with them as their products are great. Just hope I have a better experince next time.
