  1. so i'm a new concertina player. i got the jack concertina for christmas and have been working out the work book that came with it since then. i've been looking all over the internet and such for lessons or workshops around the santa cruz or san francisco area in california but alas i have not found anything yet! i was wondering if any of you knew of some teachers or workshops that go on in this area. i'm very interested in klezmer and gypsy music more so than irish or english, but at this point i think anything would be good just to get some techniques down. thanks so much!
  2. thanks guys for the advice.. it seems after going on that website for the jackie and jack that the jack really has the sound i'm looking for. nice and deep. i went around searching for reviews and such on here and so far everything i've found has seemed to presented the jack in good favor... also, its a little more than i was hoping to spend but very reasonable if it ends up being reliable... thanks again for your help. if anyone thinks of some other tips, don't be shy.
  3. so i've been playing around on a schilling toy accordion for a while now and have gotten really into the idea of buying a real concertina. unfortunately i have no idea what so ever what kind to buy. i've been getting into klezmer, gypsy, eastern european type music and would like to use these styles to play concertina in a modern, rock, neo-folk sort of situation. anyway, i'm a poor college student so i'm not able to spend a lot of money on a really good concertina. maybe you can give me some advice on what to start out on. i know i've read a lot that people buy cheap beginner concertinas and then quickly realize they need to switch to a better brand or model. what would be your beginner suggestion and then maybe an upgrade suggestion? any advice would be great, thanks so much!
  4. ahh yes! i couldn't find it either.. you're such a helper.. i can totally bust out amazingly silly songs in my campus quad now...
  5. someone left the schylling toy concertina/accordion at my house a long time ago so i never got the booklet of songs that came along with it. this might be a long shot but i was just wondering if anyone had it and wanted to scan it or tell me how to play some of the songs in it. i'm trying to learn how to play it by myself but its not working out too well. thanks so much!
