I have played an English system since 1968. I have found it versatile for different kinds of music, from Bach to Bacharach and beyond. But if I was starting out and wanting to play Irish tunes, I would probably pick an Anglo. But this is mainly due to the sound of the instrument played in this way - it gives you "that sound'. Lucky for me I play fiddle and mandolin mainly these days!

I had a dream not so long ago, where I walked into Crabb and was handed an Anglo and could play the Blarney Pilgrim straight away, Anglo style. I woke up and it was a while before I knew I couldn't....
