G'day Crane Driver,

Mr Butterworth's lovely concertina system (often called 'Crane', for the inroducer to the Salvation Army, by those who, at least, know better that to call it 'Triumph' ... the Salvation Army 'house' brand name) is really pretty. The problem is that you have to wait for a player to die before you get to buy one.

The system is so good that owners would probably prefer to take them with them and forgo the harp!

(That said, I've ended up playing Anglo for authenticity in my particular context and style.)

Regards,

Bob Bolton
