Thread Name: Baritone Concertinas ~ Do you play one?
Subject: RE: Baritone Concertinas ~ Do you play one?
Hi Dick,
That Baritone you borrowed, must surely have been a very different model to the one Juliette plays, because her one looks anything but sluggish.
I certainly wouldn't want to spend big money on a Concertina that was only fit to play Oooom Paaaa Oooom Paaaa! :-)

Thanks Acorn, I must watch out for him.

Interesting Goran.
So far, at least, I am certainly very comfortable playing my TT with just the Thumb Straps.
However, some of those Bass Concertinas look absolutely enormous & do look like they might be a little difficult to manage.
I think the Baritone would probably be large enough for comfort.
I notice though that there are a variety of different styles & tunings for Baritones.
By the way Goran, have you posted any YouTubes of your Baritone playing?
If so, I'd love to see them?

Cheers
Dick

P.S. Did you see that Baritone sell for £4,000 on eBay, a couple of weeks ago?
Of course it looked like it was in mint condition ...... I guess it'd need to be, for that kind of money! :-)
