Guran Another Approach to the Anglo Concertina (22) RE: Another Approach to the Anglo Concertina 19 Nov 16


At a second thought maybe I misunderstood what you meant by "angle of the wrist"...! Did you mean just what I spoke about - that the handrest works differently for different individuals depending on the wrist angle the hand size determines and thus restricts the hand - in turn depending on individual dexterity" ??

Even if I did get you wrong it should not change what I said after all...You often see anglo players either rotate the instrument extremely clockwise looking at the right end if they have fairly short hands or flex the wrist extremely to the little finger side if they have very long hands in order to adapt to the rigid trad handle arrangement which like I said by accident suits some midsize hands fairly well.
The English is even more tricky - it actually suits ONLY very small hands so I have always wondered WHO's hands offered the model for the initial design....some young daughter of Charles W ...or his wife..??
