Making a concertina video

[KevM]

A nice video about making a concertina - using the treadle fretsaw looks like a doddle... certainly something most of us could pick up after 10 or 20 years of constant practice...

You can buy his concertinas here, for what looks like a bargain price considering the number of steps.

Fantastic! It never fails to surprise (and delight) me that there are still folks around doing this sort of thing, in this day and age, and only using basic tools and machinery.
Thanks for posting.

Lovely instrument the concertina. I've tried Piano, Guitar, Lute, Violin, Recorder, Penny whistle. Failed at them all. The concertina might just be the one!
Very nice video.

What a joke, uses loads of power tools and machines and he still says they're "hand crafted".

I think you will find countless thousands of musical instrument makers using the term 'hand crafted' or 'handmade', yet they use a large number of power tools. In fact I'm one of the few who uses hand tools exclusively (I've even ditched my Bandsaw!). I still don't deny them using the term 'handmade' or 'handcrafted' though.

Well, unless he made it with his bare hands. he has to use a tool of some kind.
