Thread Name: What key is this concertina?
Subject: RE: What key is this concertina?
You appeared to be playing out, then in.
Try the opposite:-
open the bellows with the air-button;
i. beginning at the middle button of either left hand row: play in/out on middle key;
ii. then in/out on next one inwards, same row;
iii. and again on inner one;
iv. and finally [for a change!] out/in on inner right hand key with right index finger.
The row nearer you is C, the outer one is G.
You will find you have played a middle-major scale in the key of whichever row you chose.
Let us know if this works.
