The Rochelle-2 has been developed to offer a standard size student model
anglo, with many of the technical features found in more expensive hybrid anglos.
Standard Rochelle vs Rochelle-2
Both Rochelle models are standard C/G anglo concertinas with Wheatstone/ Lachenal
layout. Keyboard position, rake (angle of the rows), and button size are
standard. They are both hybrid concertinas, which means that the sound is
produced by accordion type reeds.
The Standard Rochelle is 7 1/4" across the
flats, and 7" side to side, and weighs 2.8 lbs. The reeds are mounted on
accordion type angled reed banks, which does not require a calibrated airflow.
The Rochelle has a celluloid finish.
The Rochelle-2 measures 6 1/2" across the flats,
and
5" wide. It weighs 2.4 lbs. The reeds are mounted on a
flat reed pan, which is common on more expensive hybrid concertinas. The airflow
in the R-2 is calibrated because of the amplifonic reed position.
The Rochelle-2 is based on our popular hybrid models (Minstrel and Clover).
The Rochelle-2 has a lacquer finish.
Both models feature a low flex, riveted rod action,
and all wooden construction.
All Concertina Connection models come with
a 5 year warranty, and are part of our upgrade program:
you can trade in your Rochelle at any time for a higher class* concertina,
and receive the full purchase price back as a credit towards the new instrument.
Upgrade options for the Rochelle-2 are the Minstrel anglo,
Clover anglo and the high end traditional
Wakker anglo models.
*We build 3 classes of
concertinas: Entry level, Intermediate, and Traditional reeded
concertinas. See Concertinas 101 |
