Dame Pattie Smith EPNS Pat Smith's concertina (10) RE: Pat Smith's concertina 16 Jun 07


My concertina isn`t a Welsh one, I`m not really sure where it came from except it was in a shop in Whitley Bay Northumberland. Dr. Price seems to think it might have belonged to Silly Wizard at one time. If anyone can let me know if this is true or otherwise I would like to know. It is a Lachenal Anglo and was renovated by John and Sue Holman 30 years ago. This is why it has red bellows - my personal choice. Although Lachenals were 10 a penny in their day, it does have a particularly sweet tone to it. You can either play it in a percussive way, which is particularly good for Morris dancing for instance, or it can play very sweetly using bellow control. I love it and it's my baby!
