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.
The
Rochelle has been developed especially for beginning players on the anglo
concertina. Although the instruments are perfectly capable of meeting
the requirements of intermediate players, we understand that many players
might want to upgrade to a vintage or new instrument later on.
With this in mind, we made 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, normally only found in expensive hand made instruments. The action is designed by us and makes the instrument 'feel' much like a high priced vintage instrument.
Specifications:
Traditional Wheatstone keyboard lay out , spacing, key diameter and key travel (key height)
6 fold bellows
traditional hand rails.
Accordion type steel reeds.
