Boney Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I've been playing with some folks lately, Balkan/Klezmer/Gypsy/World tunes. We're just starting to get a repetoire together and play live. Here's a traditional Albanian piece, I'm playing my Wakker Hayden (Wicki) duet concertina, and a tambourine with my foot. https://www.facebook.com/skitnikmusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Bellows Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Great performance, Jeff! I always enjoy your concertina videos. Thanks for including that your Wakker Hayden Duet uses the Wicki layout. I had previously not delved deep enough into concertina knowledge to know about it. The Wicki layout makes more sense to me than the others, and when I eventually decide to branch out into the world of duets, that's the layout I'll get. Heck, I'd only need to sell plasma 200 times to be able to afford a H-W1! Edited February 21, 2012 by Reed Bellows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boney Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks! I should be clear though...my concertina has the Hayden slant. I haven't tried one with buttons parallel to the handrest (which Wakker calls "Wicki"), but I'd like to. Kaspar Wicki did not publish any recommendations for ergonomics, he just patented the general layout in 1896. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellowbelle Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hey, that sounds great. Commented at YouTube, where I'm 'geranibelle.' Interesting, bellows and one end and the saw at the other... leaves safe room for error, I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
