Jackie English Concertina, Beautiful Sound Accordion Reeds Squeeze Box

This is a 30 key English system concertina, designed and developed with mostly European parts. The Jackie is a treble concertina, with a range comparable to a violin. These English concertinas have a traditional riveted action, normally only found in expensive hand made instruments. The action is designed very well and makes the instrument 'feel' much like a high priced vintage instrument. The concertina is a wonderful versatile instrument, that is relatively easy to learn and suitable for all kinds of music, ranging from folk tunes, to pop music, jazz and classical music.
