Subject: RE: is the english, or the anglo or the duet
Dear fooles troupe, you dont move the bellows in exactly the same way as an anglo player moves the bellows, you use finger attack combined with bellows movement, in my   own particular case, I use pressure without reversing the bellows, rather like a fiddler might employ a broken slur, but the effect is a little bit more rhytmical,than a fiddlers broken slur, because I push or pull quite hard, But in the same direction.Re your last comment,my remarks about practising were intended for beginners, who generally appreciate help and who in my experience often make this sort of mistake.you are obviously not a beginner so your sarcasm is unecessary. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
