Those high notes on the right hand side of my Anglo are just waiting for me to expand my skill enough to make use of them. I recently played a trio set with Bob Webb on McCann Duet, and Bob Walser on Anglo, and I doubled the melody an octave up in the key of G. I had a chance to practice, which allowed me to find the scale from G above middle C on up beyond the next G. Not particularly pleasant when playing solo, but it was fun as part of the trio.

Being reminded that those notes are there is a stimulus to figuring out how to use them in arrangements. Honestly, I believe I could work on the Anglo for another quarter century and still not explore all the possibilities. While I'm tempted to buy a concertina in other keys, there seems to be so much to learn about my C/G that it's hard to justify.
