Subject: english concertina sounding like anglo
this can be acheived by taking the scale of g major,and playing the english in the same way,as some irish anglo players do.
Gpush,a pull,b pull ,c push, d pull or push ,e pull, f sharp pull ,Gpush.
more a less the same for d major[depends on whether c# is on a pull or push on ones box
if this is used in combination with finger attack,more bounce can be acheived[if this is what the player wants].
personally, I dont think it is necessary for Northumbrian music[finger attack suffices],or for airs.,or for songs.
I am experimenting with this at the moment,but am not sure whether it is as good as following fiddle slurring and reversing bellows at the beginning and end of a slur.
