Pip Radish - from your opening post I am guessing that you might live near Manchester. I live in mid Cheshire (about 5 miles from Chester) and accompany myself and my husband on melodeon and octave mandolin. I use both B/C melodeon and a three row Castagnari (C#/D/G with 12 basses) for song accompaniment. I know you've tried a B/C and eliminated it but you might want to come over and try my three row and see what you think (more to eliminate it from the equation than anything else, I guess). Let me know if you'd like to come over and I'll give you directions. FWIW, although I find the melodeon ideal to accompany *some* songs I accompany far more on octave mandolin because I find the melodeon just not right for most songs. I really do wish I had an English concertina and am determined to buy one next year. It seems that you have probably made up your mind to get an English concertina and, IMHO, you've made the right decision. Marilyn
