stevethesqueeze concertina keys (6) concertina keys 09 May 03


Dear friends

I am moving from the english concertina to trying out the anglo. It seems to me that it would be best if the instrument was tuned G/D as most of our tunes are in those keys. Now I know that the older instruments were tuned C/G but it seems that the newer ones sre still predominantly tuned in that configuration with only the odd instrument in G/D. Now musicians tend to have an eye to ease of playing so why don't all anglo players choose D/G for dance work? What is the relative advantages of each configuration?
