When he opened up one of his concertinas to show me the innards it was clear that the instrument was a labour of love. The reed pan was beautifully made from a particular species of Maple, which came from the mountains of former Yugoslavia. A rare wood called Cocobolo was used for the housing, and both end-plates and buttons were German silver. The bellows in soft black leather was a 7-fold affair. Every part including the reeds is produced by hand in the Suttner workshop.
