Various Interesting Musical Instruments:
Here below are all kinds of wonderful concertinas, accordians, guitars and flutes. I bought them over the years for various music playing purposes ... but ... no longer need them ... I am concentrating on flameco guitar playing these days.
By-the-way, currently, local pickup afternoons, evenings and weekends, from my West Seattle location, is all I can offer.

#142 - English Style Key Pattern Concertina - $140
The hard shell carrying case for this instrument is worth $50, by itself!
Note: This concertina is made according to the English (Anglo) keying method. The Anglo type (uniquely) produces two different notes with each button, one note when the bellows are drawn open and a different note when the bellows are pushed closed.
#143 - Very Old Museum Piece Accordian - $250
This accordian could use a little cleaning up ... but ... the bellows seems OK and the keys still work and the musical notes still come out.
Small "Guitalele" Travel Guitar - $120 - Sold
I bought this small guitar to take on camping trips ... but then, as usual never used it.
#145 - Luthier Made One-of-a-Kind Child's Guitar with Lute "Bowl" Style Back - $450
This is a rare guitar that was hand-made by a skilled Luthier for his young son about 50 years ago. I know this because the Luthier's good friend arranged for it to be loaned to me back in the day ... and ... without ill will or bad intention, it was never returned. Now, all involved are irretrievably separated by time and distance, so ... here we are, many years later ... and ... I am reluctantly selling this wonderful example of luthier art and craft.
Note that the fret-board is almost full width. For those with small hands, this instrument would make a fantastic travel guitar.
