It's nice to know there is someone I can ask when I do have something specific to ask. Thank you Bagpuss |

What I have found though is that I really need to play A/E rather than D/G for most tunes, as the bottom end of my voice is about E. |

I'm often asked what key my duet is in, and folks get very confused when I say "all of them" - but it is. Only the smaller Anglo systems are restricted to just a couple of keys, and on a 30+ button Anglo you can play in most keys by crossing the rows. Andrew |

09 Sep 06 - 09:14 AM (#1830595) Subject: RE: Song accompaniment on english concertina From: Mr Happy slightly off topic, I play a D/G melodeon - but for the life of me can't sing along with it. Guess reason being don't possess sufficient brane cells cos've trying to remember where all notes on push/pull combinations are. Can play 'skip to my loo' on anglo concertina but no singeing for same reason I think. Oddly though, when I sometimes play chord organ, I don't have any probs sining along. Poss because organ set up is more similar to pain o'accordian or english concetrina - all notes same in/out. Comments? |
