On the
Case... |
|
|
|
|

Concertinas are rather
expensive and susceptible to damage, so one had better have good
protection for them. Seán Fallon makes the best cases for concertinas
I've ever seen. Given measurements of your concertina, he'll set the
blocking for a snug fit to prevent shifting or sliding inside. And he
can even do blocking for unusual concertinas. |

The first case I got
came with the Edgley A/E concertina. If the customer orders a case with
the concertina, he is provided with one made by Mr. Fallon. After
receiving that and deciding to order another concertina I realized a
double case would be most convenient and asked one of those from Seán.
In this case I asked for the middle pocket between to two concertinas to
be omitted in order to make the case as small as possible. I wanted it
short so that it could fit in the locking file cabinet at work and in
the under-seat storage on airplanes. At 17 inches, it works out
perfectly, even fitting under-seat on irritatingly small planes like the
Canadair Regional Jet. |

Then I had a case made
for the Dipper. Finally, after sending some pictures and measurements of
the Tedrow Concer-Tiny, Seán worked out a way to support it in the case.
That one is shown below with the blue velvet lining.
The cases are really well made and have all the
niceties you could think of wanting. All edges and ends are reinforced
with either aluminum or steel, the interior is well padded under the
crushed-velvet lining, the shoulder strap is incredibly handy, and there
are rubber feet on both the bottom (as you would open the case) and the
other bottom (handle up) so as to avoid scratching the surface it's
resting on. The latch is designed so that there is no way it could
accidentally get knocked open while the case is being carried. |

When I realized I had
four of these, I decided it was time for a web page! |

me, be sure to put "concertina" in the subject line to avoid my
junk-mail filter. |
