Our anglo concertinas were added to the Trust’s hire scheme in 2007 and provided by “Jollybox”.
In 2018, a local long standing Friend of EATMT donated a Duet Maccann concertina on a “long term loan” basis to the Hire Library and in February 2022, an English concertina (30 button, Scarlatti) was kindly donated to the Trust’s hire scheme.

Towards the end of 2022, we started working alongside local concertina restorer Mike Acott as we saw a sudden rise in people looking to try out concertinas before buying. As a result, we take the short term hire fee on an instrument selected from Mike’s collection and we also get a donation if a sale is made! If you’re serious about buying, get in touch and we can put you in touch with Mike who is based in East Suffolk.
A one off £10 admin fee and then £10 per month is all it costs to hire any of our instruments. It’s a great opportunity to “try before you buyâ€. This is particularly useful for wannabe concertina owners given their high value. For more information about the Concertina read HERE.
