Thread Name: Concertina
Subject: RE: Concertina
I have a question about singing with the concertina. I borrowed an English concertina to try out a few years ago, and since it was fully chromatic, I could easily find any chord I needed to back up songs, even if I sang in unusual keys.

However, I mainly play Irish music, and most people seem to use the Anglo for that, in terms of tunes. What about singing with the Anglo? Are you limited in terms of the chords you can get, and what keys you can sing in?

At least at the beginning, I was hoping to use the same instrument for both songs and tunes, but I'm not sure which one to get.

Thanks for any info,
Zhenya
