I have been busy this last two Years compiling collections of concertina recordings which include archive recordings.I am certain that if this project had been started a few years later much of the wonderful archive playing of past masters of the instrument would be lost.The reason for this is the disintegration of the recording tape used years ago.Many of the old recordings were so distorted they could not be played.If you have valuable archive recordings in your collections please do something about it.Get them onto CD or make another recording to preserve them.It is no good ten Years time wishing that you had done something,please do it now, it is important for whatever instrument you play.
