I have tried posting this a few times in the past two days and the computer said it couldn't find the site. If this has shown up and I missed it some how I appologize.



Hello,

I have obtained an Anglo Concertina with 20 buttons in the key of G/C
I am discovering it to be a diatonic Harmica with it's own lungs.

1. Is there a side that is used primarily for melody or doesn't it matter?

2. Can it be cross harped like a Harmonica?

3. It seems a good match for Morris tunes, what else?

4. Is there a specific technique of playing to accompany singing?

5. Can anyone suggest a few simple tunes to start with?

Thanks in advance to all. And to those who suggest I burn, blow up, or otherwise dispose of it in some way, I can't. It is a legacy of my late fathers. Sort of a curse from beyond the grave.

Thanks again

Don
