Introducing the Trinity College New AP-1230A Anglo-Style Concertina, an exquisite handcrafted instrument that pays homage to the rich musical heritage of the early 19th century. This concertina is a remarkable reproduction, reflecting the authentic designs that emerged in England and Germany during that era. The AP-1230A is categorized under the Anglo model, which is renowned for its unique “bisonoric” mechanism. This means that each note produced varies depending on whether the bellows are pushed or pulled, allowing for a versatile range of musical expression.

The concertina features beautifully laminated wooden endplates that sport a light brown finish with a simulated walnut appearance, providing not only aesthetic appeal but also structural integrity. The black fabric-covered bellows consist of eight folds, designed to facilitate smooth airflow and enhance the instrument’s overall sound quality.

With a total of 30 buttons, this concertina offers a remarkable 1 1/2 octave range, fully chromatic, making it suitable for a variety of musical styles. Whether you’re diving into traditional folk tunes or experimenting with modern melodies, the AP-1230A is your perfect companion. Additionally, it includes an air-release button that allows you to close the instrument noiselessly, an essential feature for those moments when you need to transition silently.

Comfort is also a key consideration in the design of the Trinity College concertina. Each side is equipped with an adjustable hand-strap, ensuring a secure grip as you play. The concertina comes with a plush-lined, zippered black nylon carrying bag, which not only protects the instrument but also adds convenience for transportation. The bag includes a fabric handle and a detachable, adjustable carrying strap, making it easy to take your music anywhere.

This concertina is an ideal choice for musicians of all levels, from beginners eager to explore the world of concertinas to seasoned players looking for a reliable and beautiful instrument. Its combination of classic design and modern functionality ensures that you can enjoy playing for years to come.
