"...The concertina has now been brought to so great a degree of  perfection,
       that Giulio Regondi can perform on it the most difficult violin, oboe and
flute music; whilst the power of harmonizing different passages, and
some new and unique effects the instrument is capable of producing,
will give the greatest satisfaction to its admirers..."
