Subject: RE: is the english, or the anglo or the duet
Yes, Although I suppose there are even one or two classical peices, that the english and duet concertina cant do justice to, namely harpsichord peices which require, different volumes for left and right, not possible on one concertina.But it is amazing the variety of music which can be played on the concertina, some excellent c d s have been produced in recent years, Boxing Clever, which features John kirkpatrick, Harry Scurfield , Tim laycock and Dick Miles. Anglo International is another. Brian Peters anglophilia ,Dave Townsend Portrait of a Concertina, All featuring excellent performers on the three different systems,to me this proves its the player thats important not the system. Anglo International has among others Noel Hill, John kirkpatrick, Scan Tester, MaryMcnamara, Zulu Squashbox. excellent.
