morgan Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Having heard Jackie Daly (with Patrick Street) recently I fell wildly in love with the concertina. I am well-versed in trad as I play whistles high and low, but would like to receive any advice you could offer a pre-beginner on where and what to buy, and how to learn. Many thanks...

Chris Timson Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 You may also like to try the Concertina FAQ at www.concertina.info which has an awful lot of information logically arranged, and which is as up-to-date as I can make it.
