Rochelle (2nd Generation) 30 Key Anglo Concertina

The new 2nd Generation Rochelle is a 30 key C/G Anglo concertina with upgraded Italian reeds, designed and developed by the Concertina Connection Inc. The relatively high price of vintage concertinas and mid priced new models, has kept many prospective players from trying the concertina. The Rochelle has been developed to cater to this group of potential players.It is the perfect instrument for anyone interested in trying out the anglo concertina without having to invest a large amount of money to purchase that first instrument.
This instrument has been developed especially for beginning anglo players, although the instrument is perfectly capable of meeting the requirements of intermediate players that may wish to upgrage to a vintage or new instrument later on.

With this in mind,they are made with all the important features, such as key board lay out, spacing of the keys,key diameter,key travel (the height of the keys),number of bellows folds,etc, identical to
traditional anglo concertinas, to assure a smooth transition to a higher class concertina later on.

The Rochelle has a traditional riveted action. The action makes the instrument 'feel' much like a high priced vintage instrument.
Specifications include: Traditional Wheatstone keyboard layout, spacing,key diameter and key travel (key height),6 fold bellows,
traditional hand rails,upgraded Italian accordion type steel reeds.Supplied c/w gig bag.

The instrument also comes with an easy to understand tutor, especially written for this instrument.It will teach the basics of playing concertina, music notation, rhythm, music theory, etc..
The tutor is suitable for both self study and for use in formal lessons (e.g. music schools, private instruction, etc.). This item is now FREE DELIVERY within mainland UK. Back in stock
