Tootler	bellows changes on english concertina to (28)	RE: bellows changes on english concertina to	12 Dec 12
Strangely enough the matter of "bellows articulation" has been quite prominent in accordion tuition since 1950s If that's the case, why is it that the overwhelming majority of PA players I know or have seen simply move the bellows slowly and smoothly backwards and forwards and rely on their fingers for articulation? I only know one PA player who makes effective use of bellows articulation and she plays a small (12 bass) instrument. I suspect the reason is that the inertia in a large PA makes effective bellows articulation impractical.
