It seems to me that a Fiddle player has the same options as an English and Duet Concertina player.A Fiddle player can play certain tunes 8 bars on the full length of the bow and 8 bars in the opposite direction,but chooses not to, using certain fiddle techniques to enhance the sound of the playing.The same applies for a English and Duet some specifying the only way to play tunes is the full length of the bellows in one direction and the same in reverse.This creates a boring sound with very little creation and lacks drive and bounce to the music.At least Dick is experimenting and I wish him every success.
