About Our Instruments

\

The highest quality materials and attention to detail go into the making of our instruments.  Every instrument is made to order and extreme care is taken to get every detail just right.

The reeds used are Traditional Concertina Reeds that we manufacture ourselves. They are closely modeled on the reeds from a 1914 Wheatstone Linota. 

The action in our instruments is again modeled on the Wheatstone design which is a lever cut out of sheet brass riveted to a flat post with several of our own modifications to improve wear. 

Improvements are constantly being made to the instrument.  Recent additions include: lightweight buttons (stainless steel caps on a plastic core), engraved handstraps, improved action that minimizes 'clicking' sound that can develop over time, and new wood engraved logo and serial plates.

The cases are built by Greg Jowaisas.  Here is the case he built for instrument #6:

If you are in the market for a new case, I highly recommend Greg's work.  Please contact him directly at  gjowaisas@insightbb.com
