Pearl Queen Concertina
I just bought a Pearl Queen Concertina from a tenant. Anybody have expertise on such an instrument? All the keys seem to work but it has some cosmetic issues.

You have some interesting tenants. What else do they have?
Do you know how to play that thing?

That video MTI posted of you playing the first time is pretty awesome Tom.
Is this a case of the tenant putting the squeeze on you as is typical?

Well... I went to the store one day, forgetting until I got there that I had my concertina in the back seat...
So, I locked the car and did my shopping as quickly as I could. When I came out, sure enough... the rear window was smashed, and there on the backseat... Two concertinas....

This guy is a trash picker, though I think he must have gotten the concertina another way.

With the looks of the condition issues per the pictures, you'd be lucky to get $150 for it.

I found a couple of them on ebay (I was astonished). Both were a little better condition, both were asking about $800. (I was astonished).
