I haven't got as far as anything remotely described as an approach yet, Sandman. I only brought it home from the shop this afternoon. I'm still coming to terms with the right way to hold it. My Anglo has a full strap for each hand, rather than just the thumbs, which makes it so much easier.
I am not really thinking of using to accompany dancing. If I want more oomph, I have the Anglo.
It would be nice to use it to accompany singing. As I said upthread, (03 Nov 25 - 12:00 AM), I have only a limited repertoire of songs accompanying myself on the Anglo. Also, I would like to take it along to instrumental sessions if and when I get up to speed.
In truth, the main reason for having the English concertina is that never tried one before but thanks for your input Sandman. Any advice from an expert is always welcome.
