Trinity College Concertinas are handcrafted instruments and authentic reproductions of the instruments introduced in the early 19th century in England and Germany. Trinity College offers both of the two major types-the Anglo and the English models. The Anglo model is a "bisonoric" design-much like today's harmonica-where a different note is produced by the "push" and "pull" motion of the bellows. This type of mechanism lends itself perfectly for many styles of ethnic or "folk" dance music. In this style, the straps cover the entire hand.

I found the Trinity College 30-button concertina very satisfactory, a reasonably priced instrument that has worked well for me for over six months. The bellows are a bit stiff, and have remained stiff, which means you have to put in some effort to maintain volume control. The buttons all work correctly without sticking, and there are no issues with incorrect pitch for any of the buttons. Eventually I will probably want to purchase a more expensive model, but for the time being this instrument serves my purposes very well. For beginners I strongly recommend the Hal Leonard Anglo Concertina Method for 20- and 30-button Instruments.

While the product is well crafted and stunning to play, my dogs hate it. I will be practicing when I am away from them, good product and worth the money

I bought this as a starter instrument; I've had it for three days and it plays in-tune and clearly. The bellows are a tad stiff, but after 3 hard days of pounding away at the thing it's getting easier to work with. The lower notes are not very responsive (par for the course, esp. for the money) and the 5th button on the left hand accidental row has a rattle on the push, but it'll do just fine for any beginner or somebody wanting to move from a smaller instrument to a 30-key on a budget.TL;DR: Works great for what it is: a starter concertina.

It is a well made instrument with few flaws. Some of the buttons feel off but it works just fine.

Certain keys (notably, middle C) did not work at all, and several keys would get “stuck” in the pressed position. Easy enough to pop them out but both of these issues make it unplayable.

It is such a delicate instrument, but the one I received didn’t work. I have to find someone to fix it and it charges an extra few hundred dollars

This is an excellent concertina at an affordable price. I have been playing it every day since I bought it and have had no issues with keys sticking or not working. The sound is also wonderful and I haven't noticed any wheezing sounds when playing. A definate buy for anyone interested in a 30 button Ango concertina.

This was a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. It sounds beautiful - I've played with it more than he has for now because I'm literally obsessed with how easily you can make harmonic sweet sounds with it. I would recommend a book to learn songs that is made for an Anglo Concertina because it will show you what notes are made on push and which on pull with a line above the bar (you could do without by memorizing the notes on each button, their position and reading music if you're able). The extra ten buttons on the top row of each side are sharps and flats that the 20 button model doesn't have. Without those ten buttons you cannot make those notes. Excellent quality.

造形も美しく、弾きやすくて大変よく鳴るいい楽器です。記載はありませんが、輸入品ですので、受け取りの時に関税2100円+通関料200円が必要になります。

同商品の海外での口コミもみて一か八かで購入したのですが、一つのキーの音がでなくて返品しました。お手ごろな価格ではあるんですけど、やっぱり代理店の検品というのは大事なんだなと思いました。
