Thread Name: Concertina
Subject: RE: Concertina
Year ago someone lent me an antique "Anglo" Concertina to see if any of the Morris dancers wanted to buy it. But no, they played accordians and couldn't handle the change. But messing around with it I discovered that the function of a different note on push and pull may be an influence on the music that was played on it: For example I found you could play this whole dance tune on just two buttons!

Imagine a sailor trying to play whilst pitching on the high sea: This simpification of fingering could be a big advantage in such an environment
