Sandy Paton concertinas - which type? (43) RE: concertinas - which type? 10 Feb 99


Listen to Louis Killen playing English as an accompanying instrument. Then listen to John Roberts playing both Anglo and English for song accompaniments. Note that while the Anglo is awesome for Irish instrumental music, the English can be used effectively for Irish dance music as well as for music from other cultures (Swedish, Bulgarian, etc.) which often requires key changes and full chromatic capability. The English offers greater flexibility of key, easily playing in C,D,E,F,G,A,B-flat, and the relative minors.
